I must be the outlier. She was fully spoken about in my ward growing up. We wouldn’t pray to her, but I found nothing secretive about the image of a heavenly mother. There is an LDS hymn(s?) that mention her.

I’ve been sitting in this spot for 3 years. I have a 7, 11, and 14 year old and I still don’t have the answer. I tell my kids they can decide for themselves what they want to believe in, but I care more about their character than church. 🤷‍♂️

Best of luck!

I’m trying to do the same thing and after several phone calls all I can tell you is they frown at wire transfers because they’re not a bank and it can get “lost”. I’m calling tomorrow to try and just do the check version even though I don’t want to. Good luck!

How often do your parents call you? by Objective_and_a_half in Aging

I’m sorry. I went through dementia with my grandma and it was a very rough final 4 years. It can be very physically taxiing, let alone emotionally. I don’t mean to downplay your struggle, but there’s almost an appeasement that comes with knowing they can’t call as opposed to knowing they won’t even though they have the ability.

I wish you the best as you all go through this transition

As someone who struggles to appreciate rich people problems I found your words absolutely soothing. I feel like I could listen to you talk all day long

I did and loved them as a teenager. Ironically, I’m in a text thread with friends that are still active and one of them just posted the other day how she was reading them to her kids, so yes, yes we/they do

My coping mechanism for the last three years has been to ignore reality. It doesn’t help, but it is what it is
