Mothers ‘rights’ at her sons funeral

Thank you for your lovely post updating us. So glad it was an uplifting service.

Glad to hear from you Mynxie. I wish you better days ahead.

Mynxie so good to hear that the funeral service for your son went well for all of you.

I hope you had some good days with your son's partner and your grandchildren at the seaside and over the school holidays.
Caring and supporting in such a considerate way as you describe is never interfering xx

Thinking of you this evening Mynxie.

I am glad it went well Mynxie. I feel so sad for you. Look after yourself.

Mynxie glad the funeral went as well as you all wanted. My thoughts are with you all as unfortunately you have tougher times ahead of you all. But your love for eachother and helping your sons partner and your grandchildren will help you all get through them . 🌹

Thank you for the update Mynxie. Take care

Quick update – the funeral was today and it all went as well as it possibly could do. I must admit I was dreading it but I needn’t have done as it proved to be an uplifting and ultimately healing event, although terribly sad of course.
I’m glad I chose the Beatles song I did – so many people remarked afterwards that it was good to end on a positive note. Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts - they really helped me through a difficult time.

So pleased to see that everything has worked out for you Mynxie including the bracelet inscription.
A beautiful choice of song too.

Sorry - I missed your update. I am glad that you have been able to add your idea to the service and hope that it will all be a fitting tribute to your son.

So sorry to hear your news - sending a hand hold.

Have a chat with his partner. Hopefully she will be happy with your choice, but if not you may have to go with that flow as you have the future to think about and your relationship with your GC.

I hope she is OK with it.

Mynxie- sending you a virtual hug. It sounds as if you have reached a good compromise with the family in this terrible situation.
I hope that the sun will return for you. Whilst you wait, be kind to yourself,.

Mynxie
The song choice is lovely:
Out of the darkness and into the light.

The light will eventually return albeit differently. Stay strong whilst waiting for it 💙 x

Mynxie

Here Comes the Sun - it’ll be played as we leave as a message of hope for the future
You’re all so kind, thank you ❤️

Beautiful choice Mynxie
I wish you strength and peace

I love, here comes the sun

Here Comes the Sun - it’ll be played as we leave as a message of hope for the future
You’re all so kind, thank you ❤️

You must be numb with grief. My heart goes out to you.
Is there any reason, other than possible time issues, why you should not include your special song? I have been to funerals where short extracts from longer songs and pieces of music have been played. Surely, as his mother, you will be allowed some input.
Lovely song, by the way and very appropriate.

Sorry Mynxie I started to write my message before your update appeared. I am so glad that your song will be included.
I am a Beatles fan too. Which song did you settle for in the end?

So glad you got the result you wanted. So much extra grief can be caused by warring families. We have a really sad story in our local paper, a lady who had a long term partner and 2 young teenage children has said she was on a temporary break from the relationship. He died suddenly and his Mum decided not to notify his partner and children and organised a cremation - no funeral or wake. His partner has had to go to court for an injunction to stop this happening and for her to organise a full funeral. The poor man has been dead months and I think still no resolution.
I of course don’t know the full story but feel sad for his children.

Please accept my condolences. I don't think that is a lot for a mother to ask at her son's funeral and truly hope that you have your wish is fulfilled.

Mynxie, there are no words of comfort. I am glad a choice of music is being played. Love to you and your family x

Thank you for updating us, Mynxie. I hope all goes well for the funeral and you will all be surrounded with love.
