Kat - that's what we did when chucks mom died. Had the memorial a couple of months later in the nice weather. It might be the np better idea.
Summer - that is so sweet. Thank you. His dad was just not telling us what was going in from the get go. I encouraged Josh to follow his heart. Much better to go than to live with regret. I can't imagine his dad being alone to make plans yet I wonder why no plans were made. I truly believe he was in denial. None of us wants to believe we are going to lose our loved one yet the truth is - when we went to the fiuneral home before my Mom passed - we were so relieved to learn she had made much of her own arrangements. Made a difficult time easier on us. His dad is Jewish - surprised he isn't doing it quicker as with his relatives.
