This reminds me of the story of Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Don't ever read that unless you like really sad stories.

I can't imagine either, and I didn't even get to say anything to my cousin, the drama happened soon after I got there, and I was one of the people who stayed outside to make sure that the person causing the drama couldn't get back into the funeral home once he was outside.

Good for you! :-*
This all just reminds me of the first funeral I attended, for my uncle, my mother's oldest brother. Mother was one of eight children. After the funeral, we all went back to the home of one of my aunts, one of my mother's older sisters, and all they did was argue about things that had happened 30 and 40 years previously. :(

death brings out the strange in some people.
I remember going to a funeral when I was very young, maybe single digits....some relative in Pennsylvania had passed, and we had to trek there and show our respects.
It was the first time I saw people wailing at a funeral, and passing out. While people were trying to help her, I could hear my grandmother's shrill voice saying: "Slap her, someone just slap her!"
:laugh:
