My "best friend" since high school but I didn't invite me to her grandma's funeral. Would you still be friends with someone like that?

Question

I am super surprised that she been calling with all the details of her grandma's funeral. I knew her grandma very well and been to her house plenty of times. We are in our 30's now. This is all weird to me. Would you still be friends with someone who did this?

Answer 1

It takes a friend to be a friend. And friends do not take offense. She probably thought she had invited you already and did not realize her oversight. In fact, she may be feeling you slighted her for not coming to the funeral as you knew all the details about it. To be a friend is the most important. I would tell her you would have liked to be invited to the funeral you helped plan and that you care about her still.

Answer 2

The answers you have received all say the same thing but your just a brat who thumbs them all down. With you for a friend I would not want you to be my friend if that is the way you feel. You are not worth her time for a friend. You don't get invited to a funeral as a friend and for sure she does not need hold your little hand. Friend?



(So how is this helpful exactly?) Wasn't meant to be helpful, was meant to tell you that you are not a friend at all and about as close to a nothing as you can get. True friend do not act like you are

Answer 3

Are you that selfish that you're making her grief about your self?



Let me get this straight, you are a grown a$$ adult in their 30's, who doesn't know how to look up an obituary? The obituary has the information you needed, date/time/location of the visitation and the funeral if it is public. Obituaries are online, in the paper, and usually on the funeral homes website. With some newspapers no longer publishing everyday, some obituaries are on the news too.



Generally the days following the death of someone you're close to, you're quite busy. When my dad died, the day he died up until the funeral, I was busy. I didn't have time to hold my friends' hands. My BFF because he's a better friend than you, found the information himself then confirmed it with me and let our mutual friends know if they wanted to attend.

Answer 4

You don't get invitations to a funeral. You go of your own violition to show your respects.

Answer 5

LOL, just because you don't like an answer doesn't make that person a troll. I take it you weren't really looking for honesty... just sympathy.

Answer 6

OH you poor baby, you cant' call for the time, you can't read it in the paper, you just had no way to find out. Your some friend if you can't find the time on your own. I've never had a problem finding the time when friends passed away.

Answer 7

I never knew you had to invite any one to the showing or services. These are open to any one who wants to show up and you did not show up making you some friend. Maybe you don't need to be her friend any more as it sounds like your not a real friend any how.

Answer 8

You're being dramatic...

Answer 9

Honestly I would feel kinda hurt. I would want my bestfriend with me if that happened
