[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 97339, member: 1233"] Hey, BBK, it sounds very much like you took the right course of action. I think not putting yourself into a situation where someone might need to call the ambulance during a funeral is just in good taste. And you can ALWAYS repeat that. I also understand that it is soo very very hard to face all of your losses in one room. And that is very much what would happen. I skipped my grandfather's funeral. It created almost 15 years of anger in my brother, but that was HIS problem. It was the way I could best respect our grandfather, by doing what he ASKED of me. It meant I grieved alone, not with my mom and the relatives. I was halfway across the country with my dad. We could not all afford to go. And bro would not stay with the adults my parents chose for us to stay with. So what you did, was totally the RIGHT thing. You will grieve the way that is best for YOU. Wakes and funerals are for the living who can handle them. Hugs to you and Tink. Hope things will be easier for a while now. Susie [/QUOTE]
