In reply to the discussion: My dad died Sunday. [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(10,073 posts)22. My niece was very helpful. But she can't help with
the "What Dad wanted" questions regarding the funeral.
I'm not Catholic, so I'll be just a guest. It's painful, though, to see some siblings being bullied. And Mom says one thing to one person and something else to another.
Just as apparently Dad told everyone at different times that he wanted them to speak as part of the mass. But not all are allowed. I'd understood that Dad's wishes about this had been recorded. But it turns out they were not.
Anyway, I guess it will work out somehow. I hope. Thanks for your reply.

They say God gives you no more than you can handle, but at times, it's a real struggle.

Neither am I, mainly because of how religion is used by so many to take advantage of others.
