Question:
I am older person who lost mother. I find it difficult to lead morning services. I can do mincha and maariv. I am very overweight and can not stand so long. May I just say kaddish for shachris?
Answer:
Hello,
המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים
I feel for you because I also recently lost my father z”l.
If it is difficult for you to stand the whole shacharis, you can be the chazal from ashrei u’va l’tzion, which doesn’t take longer than 5-10 minutes. this way you will be saying kaddish and davening for the amud.
Best wishes
