Yeshua, Son of God, once said:
"Let the dead bury the dead".

It isn't about us, it is the measure of regard you have for the deceased or their family and friends. It is part of life and life brings us discomfort, but that is part of growing up.

No prob. I liked tiger very much ,• hey as disaster and Mandy is still near . Both pooed in the hall during my hard Time and he just ran away as more poo showing You didnt!

Finded better as unhealth with family 😂

So happy one less

I have skipped funerals/visitations, and I do not regret it. In my opinion, funerals are for the living, either for closure or commiseration with others. If you want to share memories or just be around others who loved the deceased then you should go, but don't go if you're main worry is upsetting the family by not going. They won't notice, at least they shouldn't.

I choose to mourn in private. I figure that the recently passed will know either way.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I recently skipped on a funeral/ get together for an old highschool buddy that was a part of my circle that died of an overdose ... I decided it was much more meaningful to have a chilled out candlelight vigil ... rather than go hang out , probably get wasted with the same peers with a similar underculture that ultimately led to the guys untimely death.

It made sense to me ... I wasn't asked to go to the funeral ... I don't think anyone in the larger group went ... but I was asked to go to the meetup.

This broken drug culture has gotta go ... throughout history drugs and more specifically entheogens were used as a an enlightening utility , a spiritual tool and a quantum connector to the deeper source of bliss and nature.

So ... to answer the thread title ... no , I don't regret it ... everyone has their own ways , feeling and dealings with and about things and I feel an honoraray night of reflecting was much more suitable for me and meaningful overall. Chances are I would have pissed a lot of people off with my rantings about the broken western culture and drug cultures, if I would have went.

It meant so much,to me to see all my friends and family at my son's wake. I will always remember all of them.

Everyone person is different.

The pain they can handle is different for each.

You can still be there in support for the family - without being at the visitation and funeral.

I've attended many, and as of late had to step back from some, because the pain might take away from the service.

To each his own, but I think in some ways, this is selfish. I understand WHY people don't want to, or like to, attend funerals. Who does?

Think about going to the funeral as a way to support those who may be in even greater pain than you are. Think about the person who died. What would he do in your position?

I do think you will regret not going.

In going to the funeral, you may find that in many ways, you'll receive the support you need.

I'm sorry for your loss, OP.

It'll pass with time, either way.

I do not go to visitations or funerals...its a dead body for petes sake!.Do I care if others get offended by that? uh..no.
