Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our family is hoping to have a memorial service for our daughter. It's two months away, but already, with the Delta variant, we are worried it may need to be canceled. Today my husband and I had brunch with friends who already have their flights to the service, but are unsure whether they will actually be able to come. Both their daughters asked them not to go on a trip that was scheduled soon, and one is a doctor. It's omninous. Many of our daughter's closest friends and all her family will need to drive or fly. It's been over a year since she died, and the family would like the closure, such as it might be, especially for her 13 year old daughter. None of us knows what to do. The responsibility of people's health is falling on our shoulders, and it's oppressive. Wait and see, wait and see. It's endless.
