I am glad you came in to update. You have been on my heart lately and I have come in here just to see if you had updated. I think whatever feels right to you regarding the service and asking people is the way to go. Some you may ask now and some you may just wait. I'm sorry for all of this and hate that you have to go through it. Lots of love to you and your family. Internet stranger hugs too of course💕
Again, even at a time like this, you continue to think about others, namely about how others will feel if you ask them to be a part of the commemoration of your potential death.
And, yet again, I am in awe of your selflessness in being concerned for these people.
I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it, and however you choose to handle this will be perfect for you.
When DH's grandmother passed away, she had left a letter (not to individual people, just a letter to whoever was planning her services) of who she had wanted to be involved. That helped us follow through with her wishes. I think an individual letter would be appropriate, too, if you have the energy and desire to do that. Whatever feels right to you.
His, I'm so very sorry this is happening. I hope the chemo treatments can be done at home, and I'm praying for peace for you and your family, and wisdom with upcoming decisions.

Sending big hugs.
Do whatever feels easiest for you with the planning conversations. I was asked to be a pallbearer for my Grandmother after she passed - she had written plans before she passed. I was shocked and so very honored.

I'm a lurker, but I couldn't click away without saying something. You are so incredibly strong and your love for your family is so evident in everything you post. Prayers and big hugs to you.
