The last funeral, a person she knew from church a long time ago, she attended she was confused and wanted to leave. My sister does not think I should take her. I am torn. We have known this man for over 57 years.
For several reasons I would say no, she should not go. I’m sure no one would expect a senior to be at a funeral with Covid running rampant. I question your going if you are around your mother on a regular basis. My husband lost his nephew, 54, from a heart attack back in October. We went to the funeral home the night before the funeral and sat with his mother, my husbands sister. There was just the three of us there and we wore masks etc. The next day we attempted to go to the family visitation held before the funeral. So many people came in without mask that we had to leave. They had the service online for those who couldn’t attend. In the past when my DH aunt, 94 and with dementia, has lost nephews, I have taken her up to the funeral home before the funeral or to the family dinner. This was before Covid. The last trip I found she was very uncomfortable and I do not mention death of relatives to her any longer. She really doesn’t remember them. I have to side with your sister on this one. I am sorry for the loss of your family friend. So many are dying now. It is very difficult.
Churches are streaming online now, funerals and all.
My friend just lost her husband to Covid. The funeral followed protocols regulated by our state and they also provided a live streaming for those who couldn’t attend.
In your mom’s case, I don’t feel like she should attend since she was upset by the last funeral. Most importantly, why risk COVID? We are living in different times. It’s very sad.
If she found the last funeral challenging I would not take her to this one.
If that means you could not go, check if they are live streaming it. When my step mil passed away, due to Covid restrictions, the family was given a link to allow us to watch it live online. Only 6 family members attended in person.
