[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone for all the suggestions.  It is going to be a very small service.  I have posted about my mom before (narrcisist) and she has isolated my dad from everyone but our immediate family.  I am trying to be positive and let go of a lot of hurt feelings/incidents of the past and celebrate the life she gave me and the way she dedicated herself to my sister/brother and I when we were young.  My questions re mostly about the viewing the night before.  It sounds like the priest/mortuary will be able to help me plan that part. I wasnt sure if it was just a simple rosary/prayer service or more elaborate but it sounds like it can be whatever we want it to be.

To the pp whose father passed away, I am so very sorry. Sending prayers for you and your family.

If it is going to be very small, you can certainly keep the viewing short in time or even not have one at all.  Sometimes its more upsetting to be alone there.  Have a beautiful Mass and then a nice luncheon or something where you can all casually share memories and help your dad think positively and celebrate her life in a way positive for him.  [/quote]
