to funeral or not to funeral?

[Fredwina]

Reminds me when my Dad died, and my nephews wanted to mourn instead being the pallbarers. Mom told them that it was the last thing they could ever do for Grandpa.
And going to the funeral is the last thing you'll ever do for your coworker - Yes, I know you want to curl up and cry - I had a coworker die in January - but I think being with folks and reliving what she meant to will, in the long run, prove more benefical than mouring by yourself.
