I'm not really sure what you are asking. Did your father pass away (if so, I'm very sorry for your loss). Are you asking if we think your Mothers' family should attent the funeral? If so, I say that they should be there to support you and your mother. Sorry if I misunderstood what you're asking.  |

It is your right to be mad or confused at your mothers family. And you do that because you do care. But just understand that in your own will it is not intended for you to try to make people do things. The only person that you are resposible for is you right now. If your mothers family does not come then understand that it is not your fault and be there for your mother and brothers. If the rest of the family chooses not to come then be there for your immediate family and they will be there for you. Sorry to hear all that has happened. You are in my prayers.  |

People go out of respect, but if you can't respect people when they are alive its to late to respect them when they are dead.  |

It could be a financial hardship for them. I know this has been a reason I could not have attended many funerals I wanted to recently. Please don't hold it against them. I am sure they have their reasons. They may not be able to be there in person, but they can still be there for you and your family in spirit.  |

They are family, so if I were you I would call the one's that you really think should be there, and tell them how you feel, and ask them why. Maybe there is a good reason... maybe not.. but either way you will feel better knowing and they will know that even thow you still love them... they hurt you... then it will be taken off of your chest and put on them. Maybe they feel like they arn't welcome.. or something.. If they feel needed and wanted there maybe they will come. Take the first step.. it seems you have enough pain in your heart right now.. get rid of this by talking to them about it. I hope that things get better for you and your family... I'm sorry for your loss. *hugz*  |

I'm sorry for all that you've been through.I just lost my grandma this month so I know how hard it is.Why wouldn't your mother's family come to the service?Did your mother's family and your dad not get along? Even if that is the case your mom's family should come,just to support you and your mom.  |
