Re: Is It So Wrong Not To Attend A Sister's Funeral?

I hope when my kids remember me they giggle, as they think of all the crazy escapades this daft old bat has got up to during her life.

If I didn't have to & it seems you don't, then don't go, I wouldn't go either under those circumstances. Just send a card with condolences on it, to the family.

Why don't you let it all hang out, as you seem to have raised more questions than answers

Does this branch of the family live many miles from you?

Tell us more about the situation and why it arose?

As I already said one of my brothers (and his wife) have always been in contact and her daughter rang him. She rand him when she had my sister sectioned (if that's what it is when your marbles go) and also told him she hardly bothers to pop round to see her because she wasn't a very huggy type mother. But I don't think many were back in the day. I was certainly unaware anyone did that sort of thing.

Anyway, she was hoping she died quickly so she didn't eat into "her children's inheritance".

Actually, I went to my sister's husband's funeral 20 years ago even though he manage never to speak to me. Apart from when I was eight just after my dad died (I think it was). It was Christmas morning and I woke excitedly to find my presents at the bottom of the bed. There was a cap gun. I fired it a couple off times only to hear him bellow from another bedroom " SHUT THE **** UP!"

Waking the whole house. He'd recently married my sister and was living their, building up his bank balance until he moved out.

I never suggested I hated her guts. Nor she mine.

Re: Is It So Wrong Not To Attend A Sister's Funeral?

I haven't read the thread, but, I was told by my father many many years ago that you don't attend a funeral for the deceased benefit.
Are there any relatives that are deeply in grief, that you do feel for ?
Your attendance might console them, but it is entirely your choice whatever you do, and nothing to feel bad about.
