Do funerals happen quickly in America? In England it's normal to be delayed. My dad died on the 23rd July and his funeral was 10th August.

In Australia it's a week to 10 days that the funeral is held, even if a post mortem is done it's about 10 days after death. I may have misunderstood Kyle, l.thought it's only a memorial service that's being held after the holidays not the funeral it would be extremely odd to keep a body for an extended period of time at the mortuary.

I looked up the IG page babylemonprints the person Kyle mentioned had done a picture of Jenny, it is a lovely picture..........

Then l see this and feel like she ruined it basically suggesting if you smoke/smoked in the past well you deserve to die of cancer, BTW given Kyle doesn't know the artist at all and she's not a friend of the family how does Nina know Jenny's a "kind soul".

I noticed the GFM page has changed and really am disappointed in the wording...I wish people weren't so naive and those with good hearts would do some research to put their money where it's truly needed and can help more than buying event tickets or couches.
From the GFM:
"We ask those who are drawn to continue their generosity, to donate to the Appleford family. The donations here will be used towards a beautiful celebration of life service, residual medical costs, and for the family to use as they begin their journey towards healing."

I took it the same way as you did. That it's memorial service/celebration of life ceremony, not the actual funeral. So I assume Jenny will have already been cremated or buried when it takes place.

I hate to break the news to Kyle, but after the live stream of Jenny's memorial service ($$$), his YouTube fame is over.

Maybe that is why he is delaying it to after the holidays. Psychologically it seems smarter to have organized it for at the latest this weekend and then let the children enjoy Christmas as much as possible. I think the good old $$ motive is obvious in this plan. There could be travel reason but I think that is not the prime reason.

Hopefully Ellis was only helping him because Kyle was sick. It's so damaging when kids are thrust into that role. I was a year younger than Ellis when my family emigrated and my mother was so unhappy that she took me as her "best friend" and I felt responsible for cheering her up for the rest of her life basically. You and me against the world she kept saying. Maybe an exaggeration to say it ruined my life but came pretty close!

Perhaps Ellis could find his dad a tissue so he didn’t need to sniff and snort so loudly and awkwardly right in front of people… it’s so disgusting! I hate snorting. It’s not ok and coughing without your hand in front of your mouth is double disgusting. Show him a ‘sign’ Jenny … lead him to the toilet roll if needs be! Just stop him snorting 🐷!

No child owes their parent anything - they did not ask to be born.

I respectfully disagree with. Parents invest a lot into raising their kids. They deserve to be treated the same way. Kids are expected to do things for you, like cleaning the house, carry the shopping bags, behave, do well at school etc.

Wow, I thought that was just on TV/the movies. I assumed when celebs die and they have quick funerals, it's because they are celebs.

Wow, she must be green meanwhile. In the Netherlands you must have a deceased’s body cremated or buried within a week by law.
I really can not understand these long waits for a funeral unless it is a suspicious death. But that is another story altogether.

kyle is bit lazy to vlog unless jenny is there...she did most of the talking and he had a deer stare and mickey mouse smile as always.

I actually agree with you, lm inclined to think he won't continue with "vlogging" just his teary updates for now then settle back into daily life.
 
I completely agree that children should be given age appropriate chores and should be taught to be respectful and work hard at school. My kids have limited tv and ipad time but go to nursery, swim and play with friends. In my opinion a child should never be expected to emotionally support a parent or to feel the uncensored weight of heavy, difficult times. It's amazing to me how many adults I've come across in therapy who still suffer as a result of bad experiences in the childhood home. What happens to us as kids is so powerful. We are yet to see how the first generation of YouTube kids are affected by their parents' decisions to parade their lives on line but I can't

Jenny had lost touch with reality during the final part of her life. Between the disease, the trauma, and the meds, she had gone a little nuts... not judging the poor thing, just saying. In her mind, if one good thing could come out of the tragedy of her cancer ordeal, it was that Kyle was now famous and could have lived off her legacy by vlogging on YouTube and writing books about her. Maybe Blobby believed this fantasy for a while but now he realises that being a full time YouTuber is not so easy. He understands that it's better to keep his job and do that on the side. He won't stop Youtubing, he has zero problems using the kids, but at least he won't end up like desperate Josh.

There is no way that Kyle without Jenny and her cancer journey could be "famous" and make a good living off YT. or writing books. About what? Jenny. Come on. He will try to use the kids but viewers will dwindle and he is then on his own. I will pop in and interested to see the service in Jan. but not interested in his life with the kids. As a guy telling the story on YT Kyle is just not that interesting. Kids are just like lots of other cute kids in our own families and circle of friends. I don't need YT for that or a quick trip to disney.

Yeah in fact it was Jenny's fantasy. She was hoping that at least one good thing could come out of her tragedy and I get it, especially since she was religious and thought that God had a "plan". She probably thought that thanks to her legacy, Kyle and the kids were settled, with Kyle becoming a successful YouTuber and author...
Imagine all of a sudden there are articles about you everywhere and you're trending topic on YouTube. She thought, ok gotcha, that's God's plan! Poor thing. Of course it's not real. Kyle is not completely stupid, he probably said sure, I'm gonna do all that and more... but he realises that's it's BS. Anyway, he might keep vlogging and see how it goes. I'm sure people will be watching for a while, he has a lot of fans and people are obsessed with the kids, he'll be getting good views for some time, and who would say no to some easy cash? Sure enough I won't be watching!
 
Giving children chores and responsibilities is for their own good though. What I meant is that parents should not expect their child to fulfil any idea or dream they might have and they shouldn’t expect their child to do stuff for them or make them feel better. And certainly a child does not owe their parent anything for bringing them up. People who want their child to pay things back in return shouldn’t have ever had kids imo.
