[quote=Anonymous]A very good friend's mom died unexpectedly and she told me the date/time of the funeral... a 4.5-hour drive away. Clearly I can, and should, go..but I'm struggling with the decision for a few reasons: * Would have to take a day off work and stay at a hotel * Would miss a kids sports tournament - they won't care too much but I like to go * We only have one car so I have to rent one and it's not cheap, plus gas/hotel/incidentals (I'm not doing the drive in a day) * I think only one other friend may be going and I don't think she still has friends back home * I'm pretty sure she wouldn't come if the situation was reversed. She's a wonderful person and very good friend but putting herself out there when it's an imposition for her is her least likable quality All that said, I think it's the right thing to go and support her. But how does one decide when to go or not? [/quote]
