kaddish

in listening to your meditation on kaddish, you refer to only one line...ye hay shemay rabo, etc......why only one line, and not the rest of the prayer...my brother passed away in march of this year, his son only said his version of kaddish for a week.....i felt it necessary, as a brother, to say the kaddish for 11 months.....

i only mouth the words, but in listening to your version, i know now that there is something missing in my saying this prayer......actually, to say this kaddish, and mean all the words, how long should it take to this prayer.....thanks...
