Mia,
My thoughts are with you. When Bandit died we got his ashes too. I didn't want to open the box but my kids asked to. I was glad I did, you are right, we did find it comforting (although very sad) to actually see those ashes. We put them on a shelf with his picture, and we talk to him all of the time. It does get better, honestly it does. Bandit has been gone for almost 9 months, his first birthday just passed. I can think of him now and smile. I remember the funny stuff! Hopefully you will be there soon. |
