I personally hate funerals and would prefer not to go to them, so I wouldn't be upset at all if someone with whom I was in a relationship didn't want to go to one. In fact, I didn't go to the last...

I normally wouldn't worry but its been "she could go any day now" for the past two weeks. She's sleeping most of the day, not talking much anymore. I'm not sure how much she eats, but she has to have...

Even if your husband says he okay with you missing it, I would not miss it. I feel like sends a pretty crappy message to his family. If it comes down to it, why can't you just move around your trip?...

^ I agree. I just can't imagine saying to a husband or their family that I can't come to a funeral because of a trip. it would be different if it was like a distant cousin or someone nobody is close...

I think Audrey made a lot of sense. Most women, it seems, stay close/live close by their parents and/or mother. And if the two families don't live close by each other, then the man is going to be...

I've never been to a funeral that had "a body for me to stare at" the whole time. My Grandmother's funeral was a time for family and friends to get together and remember an awesome woman. We shared...

My feeling: That person isn't there. They're just a body. They don't give a rat's ass about who is at their funeral. Well, funerals aren't for the dead, they're for the living. I hate them too,...
