My parents are still alive, but my dad is in a nursing home. Since nursing homes run through an elderly couple's money very quickly, my mom needed to set up both my dad's funeral and hers very quickly. Only, it was very hard for her to do. So got an email with casket costs, flew and drove from Houston TX to Duluth MN, met my sister, and went to the mortuary and graveyard to pick out caskets, gravesites, etc. We also sat down with my mom about how she wanted her and my dad's funerals done. This is what I meant by planning two funerals. That was not as hard as I thought it would be. My sister's a geriatric nurse, so she and the mortician cracked jokes throughout; with me chiming in as best I could. What was hard was seeing my dad. He still knows me, which is good, but he didn't recognize the two grandsons who came with my sister and I to visit him. He isn't aware he's a grandparent. Thanks to everyone who wrote kind words for me. I feel bad about not being clear, but thank you for thinking of me.
