writes: I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I guess I'll try anyway.My uncle, my moms brother, recently died. They had a very close and loving relationship with each other. It used to makee my aunt, his widow, very jealous. She recently told me on the phone that I and my family better not come to the funeral. What do I do? How do I tell my mom her sister-in-law doesn't want her at her brothers funeral? My mom will be hurt and my dad will be furious. If I don't tell and we just go my aunt will probably hurt my mom and anger my dad, and it'll just make things worse. However my mom is really depressed about the death and needs closure from this tragic event. What do I do? Somebody please help me.

 This is not your responsibility to tell your parents. If your aunt has a problem with your mother attending it is her responsibility to tell her. It would be nice for you to tell your aunt that you aren't going to be her messegener boy. If the widow doesn't allow your family to attend the service,there are a few options. Call the funeral home to see if they will allow a personal viewing before the service to say goodbye, or set up a time at the grave site to say goodbye.
