    "...you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. The wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead." BG 2.11

    Krishna consciousness should increase, not decrease, when times become hard.

    Hare Krsna,

    PAMHO.

    Pls continue to chant. In fact, you can increase your rounds, dedicating the extra rounds to the departed soul. It will help her soul to progress in its onward journey.

    You can chant the verses of Bhagawad Gita for the departed soul's benefit. You can fast on ekadasi and give the benefit to the departed soul. 

    Chanting has to continue, regardless of circumstances. It is on the soul level, therefore these changes related to the body does not affect the process of chanting.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Radha Rasamayi DD
