Canadian widow finds out about husband's infidelity after his death, eats his ashes

In a gripping memoir, a Canadian widow exposed the dark details of her life and confessed about eating the ashes of her late husband after finding out about his infidelity.

The husband of writer Jessica Waite, Sean, died in 2015 when he was on a work trip to Texas. After his death, the widow found that he had various affairs and also was involved with many high-priced escorts.

In the book, “A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards”, Waite recalled that she checked her porn-addicted husband’s iPad to find the number for the Houston hospital where his body was kept and found his unbelievable browsing history.

Waite stated that she began typing Houston in the browser and suggestions like “Houston escorts" started appearing.

Then she also discovered searches for specific escorts along with their locations and prices.

But this was just the start. It took months for the woman to find out everything about her deceased husband's secret life.

She found that he met escorts regularly and cheated on her several times with various women.

She also found that her husband lied about having work late at night and was actually busy downloading various pornographic videos on his personal computer which he had organised and categorised in various desktop folders.

The woman further found that her husband was also renting an apartment in Colorado to have sex with escorts and other women.

What did the woman do after finding out about her husband's secret life?

In the recently released book, Waite said that she failed to come to terms with the secret double life of her husband and slowly started losing it.

She said that she opened the bag of her husband's ashes and brought it to her garden where she mixed it with her dog’s faeces.

“I’ve desecrated the remains of my partner in life. But then, in despair and guilt, took more of his ashes — and actually ate them. The remains feel dry against my fingertips, coarser than baking powder, grainier than salt. They mix with the teary water, a mineral mud on the back of my tongue. I swallow," wrote Waite.

Waite said that she was “detached from reality in the wake of Sean’s death” in that moment.

“I feel better and stronger than before, but I still cry almost every day, and I still feel like a part of me has died. Because the part of me that existed within Sean did," she stated.
