A grieving 41-year-old lady identified as Debra Parsons, will have her mum, Doreen, for Christmas dinner this year – by scattering her ashes on the turkey then tucking in, DailyMirror reports.

And for dessert she’ll enjoy Christmas Pud…with a dusting of her mum’s last remains too. Debra has felt the urge to EAT Doreen’s ashes since she died in May and has had a small spoonful most days to feel “as close as possible” to her. .

But as she faces Christmas without her, the craving has become even stronger. “It is the only thing that will get me through my first Christmas without mum,” said Debra.
