If you're doing something like this, I'll come, but I strongly suggest you not refer to it as a "funeral" for her - that's going to put people's hackles up ....

On the other hand, I feel like I'm doing okay. I mean - it's over. There's nothing I can do. So there's just no point ever thinking about it again, right?

Hmm, somehow I don't think that's a particularly healthy attitude. -g-
