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%26#039;re doing all that you can do. calling her to ask how she%26#039;s doing might help, but really those days of the viewing and funeral are so busy and emotional, that i%26#039;d just be there for her while you%26#039;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%26#039;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.
make up
