Well my grandmother died this morning....I'm very sad ....i have this headache from crying and it's awful...The day is actually moving faster than I had expected however...

I have a problem ...my grandmother lived in Germany...my mom's German....so the funeral will be there...but I can't fly....not right now..my panic attacks have become severe and it's gotten pretty bad.....i can't be in a plane for 8 hours....there is just no way...but do i regret this all my life that i didn't go?? That i couldn't go????

My ds has this.
His great-grandmother died and he couldn't go to her funeral.
We both know she would have understood.
Do what you feel is best for you.
Your grandmother would understand.

So sorry about your "Oma". My sympathies to you and the family and I'm sorry you can't be there for the funeral.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts....

My mom is still waiting to her from her brother in law who lives over there when the funeral is. If it's tomorrow or sunday we aren't going to go...just because we probably couldn't make it....

If it's Tuesday...we might think about going...we talked about it a lot last night and I thought that I would probably rather remember her doing the fun things that we did and not remember her lying in a coffin...i'm bad at funerals....

The other problem is that the flight is 3000 a piece....on such short notice it's really expensive..

So i don't know.. iguess we will wiat and see and i will figure my options then....this is really a hard one...

I was thinking the same thing about the flights - they will be astronomical on short notice.
