My dear Nan passed away during the middle of lockdown, it was sudden and totally unexpected as she was in good health, because of lockdown the majority of our family were unable to attend the funeral but my Nan had asked for her ashes to be returned to her hometown in her will. Because of covid the cemetery in her hometown wasnt taking bookings but it had been agreed once they were she'd be brought back and while we waited my aunt would look after her ashes. During this time my aunt has taken it upon herself to scatter my nans ashes and said she won't tell anyone where they are until she we've calmed down. We are however certain that theyve been scattered and cannot be retrieved.
Now I don't plan on ever speaking to my so called aunt again.. but I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that my Nan isn't where she wanted to be laid to rest and also the fact that I never really got to say goodbye. She was one of the most important women in my life, I still feel like if I went to her home she'd be there, I know she isn't but my head and heart don't seem to be on the same page. It's like losing her over and over again and on top of this is completely destroyed the family unit. Im just unsure of what I can do to help myself with the grieving process
