My dear husband is near the end of his long journey with a stage 4 brain tumour. He would like to be buried in his home country which means, due to current circumstances there, my children and I may not be able to go with him to put him to rest. His brothers will travel with him and his family will be there the other end.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of what the children and I can do instead of attending the funeral. We are Muslim but I am not wanting anything too religious- more for us to celebrate and remember him.
Thank you in advance
Hi KoalaJules
so sorry to hear about your husband. My husband also has a stage 4 brain tumour and the funeral conversation is a hard one.
Not sure I can make any great suggestions but what about a visit to somewhere special to you as a family, or a meal at a favourite restaurant.
I feel life should be celebrated and not necessarily mourned. Try to focus on the good times rather than the sad times.
Love n hugs
