My aunt passed away today. I've never really cared for my her. I could relate to you a very nasty history of her behavior if anyone wishes.
However, it sounds as if my mom (her sister) plans to take over the funeral arrangements. I haven't heard any plans of the date yet, but with the timing and everything, I fear it's going to be this weekend.
And I have a family vacation planned at this time.
On one hand, my selfish, all-about-my-own-family, side says my family really needs this vacation. We need some togetherness. I want to go so far as to declare this a priority at this time.
On the other hand, it feels like if one can possibly attend a funeral, one should. To be supportive. Especially if my mother is taking it on herself.
Thoughts?
