Is it wrong not to attend your own father's funeral?
My dad passed away this morning of lung cancer. I hadn't seen him since August until yesterday when my brother called me to tell me that I could come to the hospital to see him. Originally, my brother had told me that Dad didn't want me to come. I told him I loved him, he said he loved me and he said he was sorry. When he died I was there. I hugged and kissed him after he had passed and felt like I was actually going to have a heart attack. I also felt a sharp pain in my neck going up to my head. Now I am scared to attend the viewing and funeral, afraid I might actually die. I'm not close to any of my family, and I don't feel that it is my job to comfort them because they've been so rotten to me over the past 16 years. Any advice?
Why do I dream about my dead father suddenly being alive again and again?
