I had to do the same thing with a part (a small one I stole) of dad's ashes in a river, the river beside the small city where he was born. I felt relieved that I could make what he wanted me to do, but I flet my heart breaking into pieces while I left in the wind and in the water the last part of his physical body. I send you a hug.

During trout fishing trips to a place my dad found, we spread his ashes at places he wanted. We always had a group of people. In that way, we were able to release him together, and know that we can always return there and fish "with" him.

I took some of my husband’s ashes and put them into the water, too. It was hard then (7 years ago), but now I feel him close to me anytime I’m near a body of water, and it’s truly comforting.

I still have his ashes almost 10 years later. I don't know what to do 🙁

Like out of a bad comedy, the wind got us (my brothers and me) when we spread my dad's ashes. There was also some bone fragments so I kept a piece (I feel like I need to indicate a little shrug here). Grieving is kind of a forever thing – be gentle to yourself.

I have my mom's ashes. My father's dying wish was that he wanted his ashes spread but I could keep some. He also said the ashes I kept should be on the other side of the house from my mom. They divorced when I was 12.

My siblings and I will be spreading our father’s ashes in a few weeks at the fishing sites and it feels like it’ll be the second hardest thing we’ve done this year.
