[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My goodness, OP, this is a chance for him to see and connect with his college friend group, as he deals (maybe for the first time) with the death of a peer-age person. What don't you get about that?[/quote]

If he's never before shown an interest in the former GF's life after their breakup, it's understandable that OP might be confused about a sudden desire to fly to a funeral 20+ years later. What don't you get about that? [/quote]
It’s unnerving when a person of your peer group dies young and of unnatural causes. It’s normal to want to gather and pay respects. What don’t you get about that?[/quote]

I'm surprised at all the posts acting as if it's perfectly normal to go to funerals, at long distances, for people one hasn't seen or even spoken with in decades. Smacks of dashing off hastily because you're suddenly scared by the fact someone your own age died. If the DH wants to go see his college friends and this is a way to do that, and reminisce about the late GF, fine, but all this acting like it's really about "gathering to pay respects" when he didn't have any relationship with her from 23 to 47 is disingenuous.
