#FamilyDrama #AshesInTheOcean #Heartbroken
Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about what happened to your dad’s ashes! 😔 It must have been incredibly hurtful and shocking to find out that your aunt threw them in the ocean without letting you, your mom, or brothers know. 😢
It’s truly unfortunate that your dad’s last wish of keeping his ashes with his family couldn’t be fulfilled. You must be feeling a mix of emotions – sadness, anger, and betrayal. 😢💔 Losing someone we love is never easy, and it becomes even more challenging when their final wishes are disregarded.
From what you shared, it seems like your aunt had her own reasons for not trusting any of you with the ashes. Although she initially promised to send them to you when you turned 24, she went against her word and disposed of them without informing anyone. That must be really tough to accept, especially since your dad wanted to be with his family, not in the ocean. 😥
Unfortunately, I’m not a legal expert, but I can try to provide you with some general information about your situation. Laws regarding the disposal of ashes and the rights of family members can vary from state to state. Since you live in Florida and your aunt lives in New York, it’s important to consult with an attorney in your specific jurisdiction who can advise you on the laws that apply to your case.
Consider gathering the evidence you mentioned, specifically the text messages where your aunt admitted to disposing of your dad’s ashes without your knowledge or consent. These messages could potentially be valuable in any legal action you may wish to pursue. 📲📩 It’s worth noting that emotional distress and the violation of your dad’s final wishes might be factors to consider as well.
But before contemplating legal action, maybe opening up a conversation with your aunt could help shed some light on her motivations and find some sort of resolution. 🗣️💬 It’s possible that there might have been misunderstandings or miscommunications along the way, and talking things through might bring some closure to this painful situation.
Remember, the most important thing is to take care of yourself during this difficult time. Grief can be overwhelming, and seeking support from loved ones, friends, or even a therapist might help you navigate through your emotions. 🤗❤️
I sincerely hope you find the answers and closure you need, and that you can eventually find some peace in your heart. 🙏💙
Any statute of limitations issue? Seems like aunt had these for a long time.
