Death and funerals
|
| |
My dear, sweet mother-in-law is dying. A few months ago, I flew up to the midwest and spent the weekend as her nurse so that she could attend her grandson's wedding. Two months ago, the whole family visited her. She was in very poor health.
I'm of the opinion that I'm not going to drag my children out of school and pay airfare to go to her funeral. We visited when she was alive. To me, that's what counts. I missed a favorite aunt's funeral a couple years ago, but my cousin says he remembered that I always visited her when I was in town, or called. She knew I loved her. I hope I don't endure scorn from the relatives for this.
Recently, friends of mine had an anniversary party. The husband is dying of cancer, and because of all that went on, I was convinced it was a memorial service of sorts. I think I would prefer that people have a party and say nice things about me when I'm alive, not after I'm dead.
Funerals and death customs don't repulse or upset me. But I don't see the point of spending all sorts of money on caskets, funerals, flowers, etc.
My poor mother-in-law had diabetes and refused to seek care out of fear of losing her foot. As a result, she became weak and withered. Please, please, take care of yourselves physically.
