Brachot in Vain
Question
If my grandfather forgets that he said a Bracha and then repeats it what should be done? I do not want to embarrass him by correcting him (and at the same time remind him of his age, health... etc)
Or maybe because he completely forgot does the Bracha become valid again?
Answer
You are right not to embarrass him.
