Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
I've too thought about what I would do at a funeral as my father in law is not in the best shape.
This is what I would probably do. I would most definately want to pay my respects, so I would contact the funeral home and ask for a some private time before the family arrives or after they leave for the night. I would also give my mother in law a heartfelt sympathy card letting her know I was there, but I would not go while my stbx was there. I think that would be too difficult.
I hope I don't have to worry about this any time soon, but I have thought about it.
I'm sorry for your loss as well. I'm sure your father in law loved you as you loved him.
