Q - Dear Annabelle,
My boyfriend of 7 months was engaged several years ago. He was very close to her family. He recently found out that both her grandparents had passed away. The funeral is this week and he wants to attend. It has been several years since he has had anything to do with them. What do I say? Should I state my opinion on the matter?
thanks
A - Dear Charity,
One day, when youâre ever so much older than 23, you will have an entirely different understanding of this world........one that includes everyone, not just your own hopes, dreams, fears.......and your need to control your environment because you fear encroachment and loss.
Of course he should attend the funeral. Life is about loving, and loving remembrances, not about holding on and hiding from. Youâre young, and I can understand your point of view. Donât squeeze things so tightly, they can suffocate, .....and you will lose the joy in your own life. Do you Îstate your opinion in the matterâ? Only if your opinion is that you love him and understand his need to honor the love that has been shown him. Otherwise, youâre going to create a mischief.
- Annabelle
