My grandfather passed away today. He was a wonderful man, and he lived a long, very full life. It was hard for him at the end as he was very ill, but he passed peacefully in the company of his family. I am so sad that he is gone.
My family has planned the funeral for this weekend, and my aunt is turning it into this big "show," complete with me both giving a speech (not in my primary language) and playing the piano. I didn''t agree to do it; I was just informed I would be part of the program. She''s insisting that it be a three-day affair, and the funeral is being held in a big cathedral (not my grandparents'' church). Not really sure why. This is emphatically not what my grandfather would have wanted. I am so frustrated and sad and nervous. I''m not sure what to say, if anything.
I would love any support or advice you might have to offer.
