Stupid Death Rituals
My Mom’s funeral is in 4 days. I feel so sad, so lost and overwhelmed by the details. I have told my family that most of the arrangements seem excessive, a huge waste of money and make me very uncomfortable. What else can I do?

I Miss My Dad
It has been over 9 years since my Dad died, and it still hurts. I wish he were here. I miss him every day.

Grandma has Dementia
I am going next week to see my grandmother. She has Dementia and does not remember me and really does not say much. I really do not expect to have a great time with her, but would like to see her again. Do you have any suggestions about my upcoming visit?

Fighting at the Funeral
My father-in-law has just died and the planning for the funeral is well underway. There is alot of tension between my sister-in-law and me that right now. Going to the funeral will only make things worse between us. I am sure we will get into a fight. Do I have to go to the funeral?

Productive Doctor Appointments
My Dad has asked me to attend all of his medical appointments. He has had a stroke, his mind is still sharp but his body is not. There are many questions that I would like to ask the doctor, but feel very uncomfortable asking them, with my Dad in the room. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
