What in the goddamn hell is this about???
I don't usually watch this show - well, I watch the beginning sometimes, rip on the weirdos for a minute and go back to the E Channel - but this chick definitely got my attention!
The other night the show featured Casie - she's a 26-year-old widow who lost her hubby to an asthma attack - she now carries his ashes in a box everywhere she goes, she even makes the ashes meals...but aye - that's not the strange addiction...
One day she accidentally got some of the ashes on her finger and, feeling bad about just wiping them off, she decided to lick them off. Now she claims she's unable to stop eating her husband's ashes. My heart weeps for dude's mother!
Crazy Casie says the ashes taste like "rotten eggs, sand, and sandpaper," yet that hasn't stopped her from chowing down one pound of the ashes in two months. She's afraid if she doesn't stop the last five pounds of her dearly departed will also find their way to her food hole - essentially destroying the only thing she loves.
Now for those of you who don't eat ashes because it's FUCKING DISGUSTING and disrespectful, you shouldn't start. Ashes contain a combination of chemicals from the embalming fluid which actually cause psychosis when ingested - that means the more crazy eats them, the more Captain Insano she gets. It's a vicious cycle, yo!
When her mother and therapist mentioned some tough love shit and threatened to take her little buddy away she freaked the hell out and said she'd kill herself without them - ack!
In the end, she checked herself into an inpatient care facility where she was not allowed to bring the ashes and is under 24-hour surveillance - and that's a good thing.
Below is the preview but the link in the post is a good chunk of the ep (stupid Jezebel won't let me embed videos from their site because they're stupid.) And before you letter-writers get your panties in a bunch, it's not like she lost her husband of 50 years in front of her eyes or anything scarring her for life. They were together briefly before his death and it's likely she just has mad issues with letting go.
