When a loved one dies....

[Harlemgirl720]

I am so sorry for your loss. No complaints here. I think its a fitting idea to spread her ashes in the 4 parks. I think the permanent marker idea is great. How about the walls at Epcot? You can put her picture there too. Don't know if they have anything like that in Hollywood Studios or Animal Kingdom.

Blessings to you and your family.

Sincere condolences from us to you and your family...I imagine it still hurts so bad that sometimes you wonder how you'll keep breathing yourself...yes, time does soften the pain, but it's a very tough turn of the circle of life for you and your kids.

Everyone grieves differently--but for what it's worth, I went to Disney 2 weeks after my dad died in April of 2010. I had already been scheduled to go to a business meeting in Orlando, and had added the 4 days at BLT...so I didn't go to Disney "on purpose"...but it turned out to be healing and the best thing I could have done for myself during those first very fresh days of grief.

I was by myself and I just "was"...I wandered the parks and the resort grounds and relived memories ... it was a very quiet and contemplative four days...I don't think I went on a single ride, altho I did sit outside of BLT and watch WISHES and the electrical water parade each night...Disney was a balm to my badly saddened self...

I don't know that the five of you could or would want to go to WDW to "just be" w/your grief...but I can tell you it was a very beneficial four days for me.

Whatever you do, you and your kids are and will remain in our hearts and prayers...

I am so sorry for your loss. I also want my ashes scattered at various places at WDW, yes, I know...not allowed. However, it is done, just be discreet.

It may be too soon, but a family trip with our children to scatter her ashes could turn into a 'healing' time for all of you. Sharing special memories as you go through the parks might be a very positive thing for your family.

I am sorry for your loss, but the DVC Boards do not permit discussion of ways around Disney/DVC policies, especially those that are illegal.

My mother passed away in August following heart surgery. I considered cancelling our scheduled trip in November, but two of her friends have decided to go along with me. They are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary. So will it will be strange and sad to not have Mom on this trip, I felt I needed to get out of the house and I need a break from all the legalities of handling her estate.

to the family of donkortajr over your loss. Hopefully, I can say "you've got to do what you've got to do", irregardless. Hopefully, I don't get another reprimand for posting this, as I do not encourage, condone, nor recommend unauthorized activities. Again, my condolences.
