I am considering a venue which has availability on June 7. Is that too late? Josh has already flown in from CA, and Rich Sr. has started driving to MA from FL, and everyone wants to process and talk about Rich now. Is that too soon? [livejournal.com profile] tcb and brother Mike have to find airfare from CA, and people have to prepare remarks and slideshow and music. Or is that just right? Or is there no good answer? So might as well do it then?

When my dad died, we had about the same amount of time between his death and his memorial service. It seemed to work for most people. For my mom, the interval was about 10 days, but basically everyone who really wanted to be there was local, or already visiting.

It's true that a lot of processing will go on now, but perhaps think of it as less involving "everyone" than sub-groups who will have their own specific ritual.

I would say ask the people who are most likely to be affected, who you have named in your post.

THis is a better answer than I could have found words for. But I will add in a reminder to consider your process, what do you need?
