Question: My ex boyfriend passed away..need advice? I am very good friends with his brothers wife,(in fact they introduced us) but I am currently with someone else now and very happy.He does not know about this prior relationship, and it is best if I keep it that way.(long story)I dated the ex about 5 years ago.He ended the relationship. What can I do to show respect and sympathty to my friend and her husbands family without going to the funeral? I plan on sending a card and stopping by her house the day after the funeral. I feel like a horrible person, but I simply cannot bring myself to go to the funeral for a lot of reasons.

Answer: I think phone calls are more personal than a card.  If she's your friend she will understand why you won't go to the funneral. The next best thing to going in person is always a actual voice on the other line.
