Im so happy to hear this is normal. I was afraid it was not normal. I have her gown in a Ziploc bag to keep the scent. This gown is also floor length with flowers
I was not there when my Mom died. Hospice called when it was close but I just couldn't go. My Dad went. I felt like I just couldn't deal with actually seeing her go. I know she knew how much she was loved so I am ok with it even though some people offline have said to me how can you have closure not being there. Well for me I couldn't be there and it was my own personal decision. My Mom was cremated too and her ashes spread at the lake where my parents enjoyed going. I still cannot go there to the lake!!
