[quote=Anonymous]We had FIL's funeral today, my parents are alive and my grandparents' funerals didn't make much impact on me, so it was the most emotional funeral for me. I don't get along well with my own dad but FIL was special. My main observations were: I couldn't believe how small the coffin was. He wasn't a large man, but maybe because he was important to me, it just surprised me. Also, seeing dh and his brother and mom without their dad seemed like their family had an amputation. Arriving at their apartment without saying hello to him, and leaving without saying goodbye to him, felt so sad. I'd like to think I can fix things with my own dad, but we've been doing family therapy for about a year, and it's definitely slow going. Curious if my experience today feels familiar to anyone else.[/quote]
