@Ricksantiago20
My condolences for your loss. Losing a daughter seems so against the natural order and must be so difficult to deal with.
I wish you a wonderful, peaceful Camino.
However, a recent
post (that echoed my own experience) demonstrates the perils on focusing too much on one process or on one place.
Does anyone have any other ideas of what a person could do who is walking the Camino for a deceased loved one?
I'd suggest that it matters far, far less what anonymous, albeit well-meaning strangers on this forum suggest than what you feel in your heart and discover along your journey.
Away from your "normal" life, in a whole new environment, travelling in the same direction as a winding, wandering and wondering humanity you may be surprised at where your mind and heart takes you, the comfort to be found and shared.
I'd fear that too many questions like "What should I be doing?) might interfere in that process.
Maybe better to ask what would your daughter have enjoyed? Where would she have visited? What would she have eaten or drank? What would she have thought about various people you'll meet? What tacky t-shirt would she have bought in Santiago?
We can't answer those questions. But you can and those closest to her can. Those chats, before during and after your Camino could be helpful.
Perhaps you'll find some inspiration in a relatively new book, Timmy Mallet's (UK TV presenter) "Utterly Brilliant: My Life's Journey" an autobiography based around a (bike) Camino in honour of his dead brother. He has left tokens for his brother all along his route.
I have taken great comfort in a stone placed in different places so that a relative who never got to visit these places got to share in my journey. A photograph of "their" view is worth a lot to me. The location isn't always beautiful, but it's something that they would have appreciated.
There are no rules (except for the Compostela). Walk your own and your daughter's Camino.
Buen Camino
