One of my former coworkers lost her granddaughter and the funeral is next week. This will make the 5th funeral this month I've gone to. Normally I would not hesitate to go but I'm exhausted. We have family in town that i have had zero time with and I really just want to stay home. But, I would feel bad not going to show my support. I'm so conflicted as to whether or not I should compromise the lack of family time or go to support my coworker. Thoughts? Am I being selfish?
Re: Wwyd?
Family comes first for me. How close are you with this co-worker? I'm sure that you can give your condolences to your co-worker in a card and they will be just as touched as if you were actually at the funeral.
Stay home. See your family.
ETA: For the record, it would only be selfish if you ignored both the co-worker AND your family.
Spend time with your family.
Send flowers to coworkers funeral.
Maybe make her a nice casserole as well to take by her house.
This.
Agreed. Chances are, she will be so overwhelmed that she probably wouldn't notice a former coworker's presence or absence. Send flowers and a card/gift later.
Once you hold the hand of love, it's all surmountable
