[quote=Anonymous]Sincere condolences, OP. I think there’s varying degrees of separation within in law and extended family circles. I get that she’s a good aunt your kids. If the relationship doesn’t extend beyond that to your side of the family for holidays, she may not feel that connection. I can’t count how many services I’ve attended, but I’m sure I missed a few that I didn’t feel my presence was necessary. I usually send something depending on the relationships. My siblings didn’t attend services for DHs mother or brother. I did go to my sister’s FIL wake/funeral because we were connected in that way. DH side is deeply enmeshed in extended family. Like crazy cakes enmeshed. I’ve gotten the tsk tsk for not attending services for cousin in laws spouse’s moms/dads, great aunts/uncles. I don’t even know how to grammatically write those connections. And the funerals of grandparents or parents of niece/nephew in laws.[/quote]
