Aidonian's blog

yesterday was the day where we said goodbye to my mother. The service was held around 14:00. Around 15:30 her ashes were spread out on the same place where her own parents ashes were spread out.

I wanted to start the day by jogging, but didn’t do it. I did however witheld myself from eating from sunday evening until monday evening. Monday morning I prayed to the Gods Plouton Polydegmon, Hekate Aidonia & Persephone Aidonia. I burned incense and brought a libation for Them. I cited Orphic hymns to Them before i started praying. I thanked Them for their guidance and Their help with my mother crossing over to the beyond and that she may find peace.

In the afternoon, i did it again for the same Gods. While now i did not burn any incense, i did gave Them a libation. That was before the service. During the service, I called out to Plouton Eubolous for guidance and grieving to help me through it because emotionally it was hard.

Losing a parent is always hard. Its inevitable. Its worse when parent survive their children. The service was beautifully done and serene, as she would have liked it. People showed up to give their last greeting to her. Afterwards we went to Lochristi to spread her ashes out on the same field where the ashes of her parents were spread out 30 years ago. In that sense, she has now joined her parents.

During the spreading of the ashes, it started raining, like really hard. I thought it was a beautiful sendoff to conclude the service. Thank you Zeus Ombrios for sending that rain on that moment. Last night around 9 o clock, couple of hours after i broke my fast, i felt really tired and went to bed, way earlier than normal. I woke up around 2:30 in the morning and could not go back to sleep. It was like that until 5:30 i think when i actually fel back to sleep and woke up again around 7 o clock.
