Due to go to a Greek island for two weeks on Wednesday, but this morning my 95yo great auntie died. I fucking hope the funeral is before Wednesday otherwise I'm going to have to choose between being frowned upon by the whole family or missing out on my holiday, and I sure know which one I'd rather.

- Don't you remember the time when she told you that her ashes may only be scattered over Greek island?sted

- Facetime at a funeral? haha - no. Luckily it's not being held until we're back as there's a huge backlog for funerals apparently. 95, yea! Impressiveset
- My mother and her sister were having to fork out £5k a month for the old people's home, for the last 3 years so at 95 I think it was best for everyone, frankly.set
- £5k, wtfM01XXX
- Sorry to her. Have a thought about what she would have wanted you to do. Sit in a room sad or be in the sun living your life.mugwart
- Make a send off in Greece? take a photo and candle. Maybe burn something on a cliff top as the sun set and have a sit down next to her and smile at her end andmugwart
- your next part of your life. I call it the generation link.mugwart
- Thanks muggy but like I said the funeral will be once we're back, fortunately.set
- Take a photo to your family so they know you've mourned and thought of her.
Everyone is a winner. (sorry to hear btw)mugwart - ^ Absolutely. Old people homes are fucking expensive. Like a hotel with 24hr carers. My Gandpa lived to 99 and my dad was paying 4k a month.Hayzilla
- Put the shits up me. I don't think any form of savings/pension I'll ever have will cover that shit man.Hayzilla
- Yea it's mental, but understandable.
They do a lot.set - It's the greek island of Naxos, where I learnt to walk and talk, and haven't been back since, so will be interesting to check the place outset
