[quote=Anonymous]I have sort of an adjacent issue. My mom has a lot of estrangements in her family (that really affected me as a kid) and now she's trying to reconnect with people. She hasn't seen anyone but apparently sends cards and talks on the phone. I think the connnections are greatly exaggerated, but I don't question her. I also cannot be a source of comfort when these people die, and I won't travel to out of state funerals with her. I might do it if I didn't have little kids because she so old and frail, but I'm not putting my family out or inconveniencing them for the dysfunction. She could have reconciled with these people in person over the past 30+ years, why make the funeral circuit a priority?[/quote]
