That's some fucked up, immature,  high school logic.

If you think that her brother in his time of absolute grief is going to take the time out to contemplate whether his sister showing up for him at this time is genuine or "fake",  you've obviously never lost someone so close to you that it completely rocks you to your core & everything in life is reevaluated with new meaning. .

All of that petty "fake" BS goes completely out the window & you really start to value the important things, like who was there in my time of need,  my time of sorrow,  my time of grief.

Go OP, don't listen to this ridiculous high school mentality, this is THE worst advice I've seen yet. 
Your brother will appreciate you making the effort & in the end,  it may start you on the path to healing. [/quote]

One million percent agree!

If you think for one second that your brother is contemplating old grievances or considering whether your attending the funeral is "fake" all while in the throws of mourning his life partner, think again.
That is absolute pettiness at it's finest & unless you've been there, where your whole entire world has shattered before you & you can barely get out of bed in the morning, let alone think about some petty nonsense... well, I imagine that he will definitely appreciate the gesture wholeheartedly & you don't have to worry about any of that other ridiculousness.

As the previous poster mentioned, your gesture of kindness & consideration may be the exact thing to start you both on the path to a newfound relationship.

Everyone needs family... you need to go.[/quote]
