Thank you all for your replies and kind words - I am sorry that you are also experiencing the pain of loss.

In the recent dream I was holding her in my arms which I hadn't been able to do for a long time due to her heart condition. I can't look at her little box of ashes without my stomach dropping.

I learnt a beautiful new word recently (hope you can read the thumbnail).

Saudade: A deep emotional state of nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that has been loved and then lost "the love that remains". Origin: Portuguese.

Think we all know about that - the love that remains ...
