Lion EA Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 I'm very sorry. Prayers for your mother and for you and for your family. Attended a funeral last Friday. Outdoors, graveside (urn for ashes), 25 maximum allowed (by invitation of the family only), masks, six feet apart (households could stand together), contact sheets. Family gave us food and water bottles as we left instead of a reception. I missed hugging, but it was surprisingly beautiful. It was also delayed until the family was ready to venture out (one daughter was streaming it on her phone for her brother and his immediate family in FL) and our church could host an outdoor service with restrictions. More difficult when your brothers are not cooperating and the priest is scared &/or under instructions from his diocese. Another friend had a Zoom memorial service and said it was surprisingly comforting. Praying that a service will give you all some peace in these troubled times. 2 Quote

Catherine Posted July 15, 2020 Report Posted July 15, 2020 Darlene, My deepest sympathies on the loss of your mom. I hope and pray that the various arrangements can be sorted out. Hang in there, TAKE the time to grieve, and the rest will sort out eventually. 2 Quote
GLJEANNE Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 I'm so sorry, Darlene. May her memory be for a blessing, and may G-d comfort the mourners. Quote
