Jennifer, you will be surprised how moving, but helpful the readings candles tea type memorial really is. I went to one for my Dad last year at the Hospice, and it was really really helpful. Hun, don't get yourself worked up about it now. Obviously the family are in favour of the fireworks etc, and I think its a brilliant idea. Colour, like Stephen said the other day. Maybe you could move it a day, and have it in the evening AFTER the memorial? Like I said, give it a day or so to think about it and discuss it with the family. |

Just take a few deep breaths and think on it for a day or so before making a decision. Ask around the family too, they may have ideas for readings and so on. |

Just do both.. Say goodbye in your own way, then do the memorial service in the morning. I know you would prefer to leave it at the fireworks, but maybe some especially elderly relatives and friends, would prefer the service to say goodbye their way too. Ok it will go over two days, but really, I think it will be good for you all. |

Decided to heck with the Coroner's report, and to heck with waiting for testing-organised immediate family to get together 4th November, got stacks of fire works, going to get lager, wine, cider, make pizza's, pasta, jacket spuds wih various fillings, bangers (sausages) for the kids, etc. etc got them bright lights, necklaces, gonna make soup, hot pot, make a great farewell party for Sephen, guess what-had a letter from church, arranged a memorial service for the fifth. Readings, songs, candles and tes-now what do I do and what do I say, so cannot say goodbye to Stephen on the 4th, what all the family need-cos we have a memorial service on he fifth-help PLEASE. Whatever I do or plan seems to turn around. Jennifer. |
