I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are going through a normal grieving process and there is nothing wrong with keeping your husband's ashes close to you if it brings you some peace. You can keep his ashes with the request in your Will that you have your husband's ashes buried with you or, if you have chosen to be cremated then have both sets of ashes taken to the favorite place of your husbands and you and have the ashes scattered (many people do this.) In time the hurt will go away, but of course your husband will always be in your heart. Remind yourself of what he would think if you just sat about forever and didn't dust yourself off eventually and start living.
If the mother and father were married at the time of her death, then the father has the rights to the ashes, and will have that right for as long as he lives. The exception to that would be if the mother left a will requesting that her ashes be left to the daughter (or someone else).
