I spoke with Joyce yesterday afternoon and she is in lots of pain but anxiously and excitedly waiting for news of her latest great grandson's birth. I am sure she will be cheered when she hears he is safely here, especially now he has turned round and is facing the right way, with his head down and ready to appear if he hasn't already since we spoke.

The results of her daughter's inquest will have set her mind at rest a bit, so hopefully things will become a little more peaceful for Joyce, and she can enjoy her visit in three week's time and the meet with her new grandson as well as the meet with other members of GR.

Joyce, those ashes were going to be spread on the Mersey at first, so they would have gone to the water and the wind. They aren't your daughter, her soul has long gone to a better place and this is just not worth making yourself more unwell over.

Leave them to argue amongst themselves if they must, what goes around comes around and you have done all you can to help all the family - leave them to it now and look after yourself and Jan.

I am sorry you have more bad news about relatives, you look after Jan and his Mum and let them help you in return.

Love

Joyce, please take care of yourself. This is all so stressful for you and you must look after your own health.
Hopefully a solicitor might be able to help you out.
Thinking of you,

Oh Joyce, I'm so sorry to hear about Jan's cousin's wife. Thinking of Jan and his family.

You have done all you can about your daughter's ashes, Joyce. As Caz said, your son must know that he's in the wrong, but someone else might be behind it. That's probably how it is, so wait and see until you know the facts, because sooner or later they will come out.

So, please don't make yourself ill over it all, you have done your best and can't do no more. You have to put you and Jan first now Joyce, you are the important ones.

Take care!

Love and best wishes to both of you. Sallie.xxx

Joyce love, let it go, you have done all you can and are only getting yourself upset by it all. M must know he is in the wrong and I am surprised by what he has done but someone else might be behind it so don't think too badly of him until you know the facts.
Speak tomorrow.

Love Caz xx

The rules here are quite tight .....as I found out about a year ago

So I,m sorry to say I think the bloke who picked them up gave a wrong name coz they wouldnt have just given them away they are not allowed

Ring a solicitor and see what can be done

Perhaps your grandaughters could contact Citizens Advice or even a solicitor who will give a 30minute advice session.
Could someone in the family contact the cemetery where the aunt in Liverpool is buried requesting a delay if burial of the ashes is requested.?

This needs to be done within England really as it is an added stress for you at an already very difficult time.

It does seem strange Joyce that they said her daughters were not able to collect the ashes but then her brother, your son was. Is there any chance he misrepresented himself as the son rather than the brother? Unfortunately you are up against the clock here as the ashes are already in the wrong hands and there is nothing you can do from Holland to stop them.

Although it seems hard, and I do understand how you feel, Jan is right, you don't need to be making yourself ill over this. Your daughter is at peace, take the time you need to mourn her, don't worry about the ashes, she would not want you to.

Joyce, I would have thought that your daughter's children are her next of kin, and that they should be the ones to decide what they want to do with their mother's ashes. Is there any way that they can get their mother's ashes back off your son? At the end of the day it isn't anything to do with your son.

I can understand Jan telling you to let it go, as he doesn't want you to get upset and make yoursef ill---but I also know where you are coming from, Joyce.


Pleased you enjoyed your ride in your wheelchair, it will be great when you get it back in a few weeks time, there'll be no holding you then.lolol!! Seriously though, it will be great for you to get out and about to visit people so that you have a bit of company while Jan's in work.


Caz, how are you feeling today? I hope that you are starting to feel a little bit better than you've been over the last few weeks. I'm thinking about you!

Love, Sallie.xxx

What is it with planes these days - they are continually having some malfunction - I am starting to wonder about the maintenance and the checks made thereafter.

I will place a wish in your wishing well that Jan made (in my thoughts) for you Joyce and wish you a very good recovery..... wondering if you might need skates on your wheelchair if this winter is going to be like the last one.

Lots of love and hugs Norma
