[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ok if you don't go to this event. In your OP you seemed mainly hurt about being left out. But your follow ups suggest it's a rather different type of ceremony that you don't feel comfortable with and one which won't be well attended. That's what's most confusing to me.

My dad passed away when I had an infant and no child care (still on waitlist for daycare). My primary concern was how to support my mom, within reason. I was hardly sleeping during the weeks leading up to my dad's passing, due to the baby and the anticipatory grief. I would be in no shape to drive 7 hours anywhere. so give yourself a pass. Do what you can but don't feel that you have to attend every single event.[/quote]

Thank you for this. I agree that it is odd that we are holding this and my dad is still alive.

I do think it’s being held for the convenience of family members who have second homes in this vacation spot and do not plan to leave their vacation to come
down for a funeral.[/quote]
