So, we lost a very close relative on my partners side at the start of the week. He’s from another country, so is going home to be with his family.
I don’t know what to do, whether to go back with him or not. I lost my dad, and a few other close relatives quite recently so if I’m honest I’m struggling to hold it together. I really don’t want to go, I struggle to cope with my own losses at the best of times, and I really don’t think I’d be able to cope with all the grief and emotion there will be but equally I don’t want to offend my in-laws by not going.
Am I being selfish? He knows how much going will affect me, so totally understands me not wanting to go- but I just feel like I’m making the wrong decision in not going.
