I had the honor of spreading my dad's ashes

On his favorite spot to visit on his favorite lake. It was both an honor, and simultaneously weird and humbling.

Update.
I didn't cry at the service. Guess I was putting on a brave face. But while spreading his ashes in the lake, barefoot with my pant legs rolled up, smelling his ashes as I spread them in the waves. The tears rolled.

I am so truly sorry for your Great loss. I have buried many loved ones. Each time it takes a piece of me. I have never had the privilege or honor of spreading someone's ashes in a special place. I would imagine it's not an easy thing to do. How strong you are.... I know there are no words you could read here that would Ease your Hurt, So instead I hope all of the great Memories, the love, the laughter Keep your heart full.

My condolences. Losing a parent is hard.

I've scattered both my parents ashes and felt that private moment was much more meaningful and healing than either service.

I'm sorry for your loss and wish you as much joy as you can muster in the days ahead 🖤

I did not and do not yet have the opportunity to spread my grandfathers ashes. I do hope. I get to do it somewhere beautiful. Over water, like he wanted for. I’m upset that I didn’t get to see him on his deathbed, or have the opportunity to do it, but soon enough, I’ll be able to fulfill his wishes. I can’t say I feel anything, but I’m sure he’s in a better place and will love the spot I pick to spread them. I’m very lucky to have this opportunity, to spread them somewhere especially beautiful. I hope I get to see him in the afterlife, and I’m sure he’s shining down on me as an angel in heaven.

In our custom there is cremation and then some of the ashes and burnt remains are collected - to be consigned to some river or waterbody.
Had to do that twice, for my parents.
I was recalling the love I received, the times when I was too busy to go spend some time with them, and lost the chance to do that !
My empathies with you 💜💜
So sorry for your loss…
