Woman Details Eating Husband’s Ashes After Learning He Had Affairs: ‘Grainier Than Salt’

What are the extremes that you would go to in order to get revenge on your dead partner after finding out they'd been living a double life? One would think there's not much that could be done given the fact that the person is dead, but that wasn't the case for this woman. Jessica Waite discovered her late husband's secret life, and she literally decided not to let him rest any longer.

She detailed eating her dead husband's ashes in her memoir, A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards, and it'll probably be the wildest thing that you've ever heard in your life!

Jessica's husband, Sean, died in 2015 while he was visiting Texas for work, reported the New York Post. When she unlocked his iPad to look up the number for the hospital holding his body, she discovered his secrets: A browsing history full of porn and searches for escorts.

Over the span of some months, the widow unraveled her late husband's secret life. She learned that he regularly booked escorts and cheated on her with a lot of different women. The nights he said he had to work late were just a cover for his affairs, and he also had pornographic videos downloaded to his computer and organized into different files.

And to top it off, he'd been renting out an apartment in Colorado, where he would have sex with the escorts and different women.

In an attempt to soothe her furious soul, Jessica took Sean's ashes out to the garden and started mixing them in with her dog's poop. "I’ve desecrated the remains of my partner in life," she wrote.

Here's where it gets even more wild. "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," she continued.

She described that moment as being "detached from reality in the wake of Sean's death." Of course, some were still concerned with her decision to eat his ashes.

"That’s one way to turn someone into poop before flushing them down the toilet," one person wrote. "I’d feed them to the pigs though."

"Flush it down the toilet," another user suggested.

Today, Jessica has a new man in her life, but that doesn't necessarily make things easier. "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," she wrote. "Because the part of me that existed within Sean did."
