    Darth - I am very sorry for your loss. With dementia the loss happens twice, once when the loved one loses their mental faculties and then again at death. Please take the time to grieve and remember your mom as she was before the dementia took her from you. It will be stressful engaging with the congregation and with family. In our experience, at funerals some of the usual witness stuff takes a back seat to the issue at hand. I hope that is the case for you.

    All the best,

    z

    Very sorry for your loss Darth.

    I very much enjoyed the quote on who you allow in your life's "Front Row".

    I wish you strength at the funeral, but I imagine you'll do fine with the dubs. You gave me lots of good food for thought when we sparred on the "'Postate Practice Session" thread a long time ago.

    Best regards,

    om

    I am so sorry for your loss. I went through the same, a few years back. Cry when you need to. Forgive the JW family for their preaching, and they will. They may see this as a good opportunity to get you back.

    My condolences...

    It sounds like you were prepared for the inevitable but it still hurts...

    Hope all goes well during the funeral.

    Deepest sympathy to you. Perhaps you could take part in your own special rememberance, e.g. planting a tree, a shrub, a photograph and candle, anything that is just for you and your memories and then look at the funeral as a formality. You will get it though it, one day at a time, take care.

    So sorry Darth,

    I will be thinking of you, and sending you strength for the coming months. I know how hard it is to lose a parent, and life goes back to "normal" so quickly for everybody else, but not for you.

    We will all be here for you.

    love

    Wobble
