[quote=Anonymous]When people are grieving, the last thing they need is a parade of gawkers. Go if you feel moved to do so, but not going is equally valid. My dad died when I was 14 and I was amazed at how many people came to his funeral. On one hand it showed me a side of my dad (who died of alcoholism) that I didn’t know since he was usually drunk or hungover when I was with him. I saw how many people cared about him. On the other hand, at 14, standing in a receiving line being hugged and talked to by dozens, of not a couple hundred, people I didn’t know was exhausting. People meant well, but they knew a wildly different version of my dad. [/quote]
