Although my long-term fiance passed away last October, it was too cold to scatter his ashes after his funeral. Next month, his daughter and brother are coming into town to "let go".
I have his ashes in my apartment and oddly enough, I feel no attachment to them. I even opened the box to see how I would react but they just seem like tiny pieces of bone to me. Not my fiance at all. Many other reminders of him can make me weepy but not the box. When I see items that belonged to him, I can envision him with them. But the box is foreign to me and my memories of him.
Just wondering if this is an abnormal reaction or non-reaction to his ashes? And does anyone have any advice for scattering and letting go of them?
