My Mother in Law passed last Thursday. Originally, there was going to be a wake, but of course there is no wake and now her funeral set for tomorrow, is going to be private. There will be 15 of us, (if my kids and I even go) my husbands 3 siblings, their spouses and children. Many people are very sad/disappointed that they can't come.
The siblings planned to have all of us go to a restaurant after the service. I said that the kids and I weren't going. Then yesterday all restaurants in our state were closed. So, now one brother is hosting everybody at his house. We are not going. We have been told to NOT gather in groups, to stay home etc. Why they are getting together is beyond me.
Personally, I wanted to postpone the funeral. I feel like so many people aren't taking this seriously.
Its sad that my sweet Mother in Law passed during this pandemic, but it is what it is.
