@Bunpoots My mum's funeral was on the 16th January, she died on the 15th December so it was a month of waiting. That was seven years ago and also the point when I noticed that dad's memory was declining. Mum had mentioned it on a few occasions before and I think now that she was covering for him.
I hope that Wednesday goes well for you, I remember it rained at mums funeral and she would have liked that because she liked the rain. I will take some flowers to the garden of rest on Wednesday and I shall think of you when I am there. I no longer take dad as he has forgotten all about dates and the path could be wet and slippery as well.

Thank you @jugglingmum and @Duggies-girl.
Hi @Lzanne my dad’s funeral is also lunchtime. I know what you mean about bad days still outnumbering the good. I hope Wednesday will help to bring some resolution for both of us and everything goes well for you too.

Hi @Bunpoots and @Lzanne, thinking of you both today. Two of my grandparents had a form of dementia (Lewys Body and Vascular dementia) and both passed away early December. The funerals were mid/late December and they were awful days to get through so really sending you lots of best wishes and hope it can go as best as can x
Dad’s funeral went very well. I feel I gave him a good send off. I had the feeling that he was sitting at my right shoulder during the service. My old dad - strong, solid, dependable.
My lovely aunt gave my brother a sister a not very subtle telling off.
“You did well” she said “all by yourself” - you deserve a holiday!!” I don’t think they noticed. Then asked “what will you do with yourself now?”
What will I do? Strange post-caring void ahead.
I thanked the celebrant for a lovely service only to be told I’d done the job for him - but he did add a couple of lovely touches.
Still feeling very emotional.
Hope it went well for you too @Lzanne.
I’m just lighting a candle @Grannie G. Thinking of you and Dhiren.
