Topic: Would you attend the wake | |
---|---|
I've asked him to let me take him to dinner tomorrow night, which he accepted. Since we were not really that close, and have not seen each other in so long, I'm taking this to mean he doesn't have anyone to talk to right now. I do wish I'd been able to go...though I still think it might have felt awkward to be with his family at this time. |

Hi, CB No1s...nice to see you sugar Hiker, my love. We know you hardly ever go against the majority. I understand you feeling. But, I'd go. Maybe the guy doesn't feel like he'd get support from his family, as they are all grieving, as well. Someone who is not emotionally involved with the family might just be the ticket. Also, you never know what small word or deed you extend might make a huge positive difference in a person's life. |

I also wandered if he might be really nostalgic over his loss. I think I get that way whenever big changes come about...I often wish I hadn't lost ppl in my life so easily.

I would have gone. I had a friend in high school, who I haven't really talked to much since graduating. We still live in the same town and say hi and chat online from time to time. His son passed away earlier this year, even though I only met his son once and we haven't talked much since high school. I went to the funeral, but didn't go to the burial or to his house afterwards. Needless to say I didn't know anyone there but my friend and his step-brother, but atleast I could offer my condolences. |

If you feel like giving comfort, yes, it is appropriate. If not, then do not attend - it is not.

At the hospital today, the chaplain came to talk to me and asked if I had a good support system. I thought about all the people on here who have gone above and beyond and without hesitation, I said yes. |
