An out-of-town obligation within my own family is not allowing me to attend the funeral or the family visitation. I am planning to take a meal, send flowers, etc. - she understands - but I am having difficulty not being there - I am looking for suggestions on what I can do to provide my support from afar.
One of my best friends fathers just passed away and I am unable to attend the funeral what can I do?
give your friend a flying hug
it should show her that you care
Reply:I know what you are going through. I went through it a few years ago when my best friends dad passed away. Let her know that your thoughts are with her and she has your support. I could not go do to work, they would not let me off.
Reply:you're doing all that you can do. calling her to ask how she's doing might help, but really those days of the viewing and funeral are so busy and emotional, that i'd just be there for her while you're in town and then check on her as soon as you get back.
take care:)
Reply:Send a sympathy card and flowers to the service
Reply:Send, flowers, a beautiful card, and include a letter of regret explaining why. This is all etiquette demands. Your friend will, I know, understand.
Reply:That's a really hard decision...Is there some other way you can al least attend a little bit of it, and then you can go? That is my best advise. Sorry.
