[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, others are right that you can't force your sister to come.  But I will also say, [b]I think it sucks she won't come because she doesn't like the weather.  Clearly your family is grieving a young relative.  That's awful.  I'd want my sister move and heaven and earth to be with me.  Death is a stark reminder that we don't get do-overs.  Showing up MATTERS.[/b]  Always go to a funeral.

It's sad she won't chose to come.  But no amount of guilt or pressure will change the fact that it's still her choice.

I'm sorry about your cousin OP.  I wish you peace.[/quote]

This.

It's not about me trying to force her or being the boss of her. It's just that it seems a little selfish to not show up. There are numerous funerals I wouldn't have wanted to attend but I go because funerals are about supporting the others around you.

It isn't about money with her, she says she just can't stand the politics and weather in this area which I think is a really non issue for not going to a funeral. [/quote]
