When the bench was ready almost one year to the day after he died, I found myself utterly unable to send his ashes over there. I hadn't expected to have such strong feelings when faced with it (we are pretty practical folk), but it was just one separation too many. So the bench is there, and when I go, we will travel the last mile together, as it should be.
You never know how you'll react when the loss happens. I'm glad you trusted your heart. I'll always want at least some of DH's ashes around. Right now the ones I haven't scattered are in the cheapie plastic box from the mortuary, wrapped up in one of his old flannel shirts.
