[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to move on. You don't get to tell someone what photos are displayed in their home, particularly since it is a family photo - regardless of the circumstances under which it was taken.  If this is so triggering for you, I suggest you work with a grief counselor.  [/quote]

+1. A few years ago my cousin passed away rather young (mid-40s), and although a sad occasion, some of his relatives on the other side took family photos at the memorial service. Everyone was there, they were all dressed up, etc. My mother later said she regretted that they hadn't thought to take a family photo or at least one with her two sisters. My aunt who lost her son then passed away unexpectedly a few months later, and my mother regretted even more not taking a photo with her and their other sister at my cousin's service.

This is all just to say that families gather at weddings and funerals and sometimes those are the only opportunities to take family photos. Try to separate the photo from the location where it was taken and, as PP said, if it is that triggering, seek grief counseling. I'm sorry for your loss. [/quote]

[b]I really think this is extremely wrong -- especially handing out such a photo at Christmas!
"The only opportunities to take family photos?" At an in-laws' funeral? Come ON. Nope nope nope. Your sense of decency should override your desire for a photo op.[/b][/quote]
