I have decided not to. Dad will understand. In fact, he would think it the most "practical" thing for me not to go. I have contacted his wife and she understands. She has fetched his ashes and has placed them in one of his train coaches until later.
My brother and the rest of his immediate family will be there. I have spoken with them too, and they all understand.
I feel ok about my decision and I take comfort that I recognized that I have dealt with enough over the last week and that this would just be too much for me. When I made the decision yesterday, I also promised my Dad that I will not waste any time on regrets afterwards.
Yesterday was one week since he died. It has been the fastest and the longest week of my life.
