Woman addicted to eating husband's ashes

Sometimes it can be hard for people to let go of their deceased loved ones, but one woman is finding it harder than others.

The woman, 26-year-old Casie, is addicted to eating her husband's ashes, and she regularly dips her finger into the urn where her husband's remains reside and takes a lick.

Her husband died of a sudden asthma attack just two months before her strange addiction was revealed by reality TV show My Strange Addiction, the Daily Mail reported.

The first time Casie had a taste of the ashes was when she was transferring them from a cardboard box to her husband's memorial urn.

"Some of it spilled out on my hands. I didn't want to just wipe him away, so I just licked it off my fingers," she told My Strange Addiction

"And here I am today, almost two months later and I can't stop."

Casie had married her husband in 2009, calling him "all she ever wanted in a man".

She takes the ashes with her everywhere she goes, such as to the cinemas, shops and out to restaurants.

"I take my husband everywhere. To the grocery store, out shopping...When I go grocery shopping, I buy the things that he likes."

She still cooks dinner for him, and does her domestic chores the way he liked them.

"When I cook, I cook what he likes. I don't eat it, but I cook it for him," she said.

Casie has been going to therapy to help deal with her addiction, the show revealed.
