Hello @Bri1, thank you for reaching out - I’m so sorry to hear of your step-daughter’s loss. I’m just giving your thread a “bump” for you. I think this is such a personal decision with no right or wrong answer, but hopefully someone will have some advice for you.
Take care

Yes your right there is no right or wrong answer as i have bad shoulders i was thinking of saying i can’t do it to make things easier for her but she knows i would not say no to her under these circumstances my grandson really wants me to do it but i have told him it has to be discussed by the three of them i was thinking if she does ask me i was going to say to her to ask her younger sisters boyfriend to do it as he has been in the family for over 10 years thanks
