[quote=Anonymous]My dad is expected to die at home this week as hospice administers morphine.

I asked my mom about plans for a funeral/celebration of life ceremony, and she said she and her sisters are planning a celebration of life ceremony at a vacation spot my family has been going to out of state for generations.

I have an infant at home, and we decided not to go on vacation there months ago since it is a 7 hour drive and very costly to rent a car up there.

My mom said she wanted to hold a celebration of life ceremony up there since so many family members will be up there already during the last week in July. She said they will plan a funeral as well in-state but I haven’t heard any details.

I was told that there is a zoom link I can log in to for the celebration of life ceremony out of state. But I can’t help but feel left out of this celebration. It’s my dad and I’m not even going to be there.

We discussed the possibility of booking plane tickets/getting a rental car, but my husband does not have time off then and I’m supposed to be putting my infant in day care the week of the celebration of life.

I know that I am not the only family member who won’t be there but something feels weird about zooming in to my own father’s celebration of
life.[/quote]
