[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a tough call. I have twins, we’ve always had to travel for family events, and I lost a parent less than 6 months ago and a cousin 2 months ago. I see all sides of this. Covid might be a huge concern, depending on how crowded the funeral service might be. My cousin’s celebration of life was jam packed. Hundreds of people crammed into two large rooms for hours and my mother and I were the only ones wearing masks. That’s much riskier than, say, 3 or 4 households being under the same roof for a visit.

I know your husband would like all of you to be there. Is it possible for someone to watch your unvaccinated children in your home while you and your husband go? He really needs you. This would be a good compromise. Alternatively, does he have friends in Wyoming who could watch the kids for you on the day of the funeral?[/quote]

OP here—I have asked if church can provide a babysitter for a few hours and I have two sets of friends that offered to help if needed. DH wants the kids at the service and I am putting my foot down on this one.[/quote]

I'm I'm posting again.  If you were my spouse and did not support me through my parents death and honor my wishes to have the children there you and I would be divorced.

I supported my spouse through the death of a parent by surprise at a young age.  This is the one time you don't get to be selfish.  Don't out that foot down. Attend with your children and be a good partner.[/quote]
