funeral for childhood friend...would you go?

[Mermaid04]

A childhood friend passed away I haven’t seen her for over 10 years. I’ve been invited to go, but I feel rubbish that I’ve had no contact for over 10 years. I feel bad for the lack of contact. Would you go?

Yes, you’ve been invited. Your friends family may take great comfort from a show of support from old friends.

Yes. When one of my schools friends passed away I couldn’t go to the funeral as I was heavily pregnant and it was a long way to travel. But a lot of our friends did.

Yes I would especially as invited by family

My sibling died in their 30s and had lived abroad for over 10 years.

There were loads of their childhood friends at the funeral.

I would if their parents or siblings had specifically asked me - otherwise, no, not if I hadn't seen someone for 10 years.

Do you want to go?

What's the foraging for food comment about?

Yes. My family got a lot of comfort from hearing old stories from old childhood friends. If you can't go maybe send a card with a nice memory in it.
