Should I go to a friend's wake tonight?!
Question:
Should I go to a friend's wake tonight?
A college friend of mine died suddenly last week of a heart attack. He was a young guy too. I can't believe it. Tonight is his wake and I am sick on the stomach about the whole thing really. I didn't really know his family, but am torn whether I should go or not. I really don't want to see him laid out in a coffin when I remember him as being a happy-go -lucky guy and always fun to hang out with. Serious advice only please.
Answers:
I think you should go both for yourself and his family.
Let them know you were his friend and that you'll always remember him and being a happy-to-lucky guy and that you enjoyed his company. You have know idea how much his family will appreciate it and you'll also feel good remembering your past friend.
