family rift at my mother's funeral

Posted by Victoria on 3/5/2009, 7:40 am

My mother has always had a close bond with her 3 brothers and sister. Whilst myself and my sister have been loyal and dutiful daughters, marrying well and been successful, our mother has continued to criticise us and put us down with her brothers to the point that they believe we are "wicked daughters". This is so untrue and unfair but it is too late to repair as our mother has a terminal illness with only weeks to live. Our uncles have already tried to interfere and remove us from our mother's care needs, and we are anxious about how to organise a funeral and wake for our mother that has only minimal contact with these uncles. We respect their need to mourn our mother, but we do not wish to have much contact them at all. Please help.
