I could not attend the scattering of my Dad's ashes. It was just too final for me and I know I would have felt that I was letting go of him. Cherishing (if you know what I mean) the memory of being able to be by his side as he died and letting go of him then was enough. So, I can fully understand how you feel that settling your Dad's affairs would be letting him go.
I don't think I will ever let my dad go. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I will hold on to him and his memory forever.
I think what you are feeling is a very natural response, after all, it isn't an easy task to undertake.
I wish you much strength Dinah.
