Christine's visitation was today in Ottawa, but I was unable to go. My sister and her family understood the reason why we weren't able to make it, but the sense of guilt from not having been there to support my sister and her family is very strong.
Which leads me to the question, are visitations as useful to family and loved ones as they once were? Do they provide healing, and the opportunity to say goodbye, or do they add stress to an already uncomfortable situation? Are they supportive to those grieving, or are they tolerated as a duty that must be performed?
I don't have the answer...just some musings that have come to mind as my sister and her family are going through this rough time.
