For me it was a mix of emotions. Yes it was sad, like you are letting go and saying goodbye for the last time. It was also happy, and gave me a sense of closure, knowing she would be forever in a place she loved so much.I think the hardest part was just traveling there, with the ashes, memories and thoughts of trips and experiences you shared fill your head the whole time..I am happy i did it, I can feel her there every time I return. She is at peace, and so am I.
