That it isnt, although Iā€™ve never did the overnight with anyone who would be under the coffin. A ballsy move.

Iā€™m unaware of the story here, a chara.

My condolences, if appropriate.

Condolences @Fagan_ODowd. We had mam and dad at home. Only way to do it imo. Felt like a proper send off. Helps everyone grieve too.

Ah itā€™s not easy. Herselfā€™s cousin + wife were having a 5 year old birthday party for their daughter a couple of weeks back, at playworld. All parents with kids presentā€¦ The cousinā€™s wife lost her dad a few weeks back and I hadnā€™t seen her as I minded our two when the funeral took placeā€¦ So there you are in playworld with your shoes off in the play area and her daughter dressed as a princess and delighted with herself and loads of hyper kids off their tits on sugar. And you awkwardly waiting for your cue to say ā€˜sorry for your lossā€™ ā€¦ I did it anyway but itā€™s hard to do it out in a social setting a bit after the passing.

Ah itā€™s more not wanting to upset or make it uncomfortable for the other person when they are enjoying a social occasion. But it is probably better to say it whenever you get the opportunity.

A noble gesture that Iā€™m sure was appreciated. Condolences on your loss.
An occasion nonetheless for the dark suit and good shoes but itā€™s too good of a day for the black fedora.

Sorry for your loss.

Was it a friend or a member of family if you donā€™t mind me asking?

Very sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best for the next few days and sorry for your loss.
