safe & sound
| quote: Is there a chance that the service might be streamed so that she can attend virtually?
This is a great option considering the circumstances. Although it's fairly common here in the US today for funeral homes to do this, several years ago I hired somebody to go in and set up to do it for family members that were unable to travel. With our current technology you could even do this with facetime or similar on a mobile device. |

| That's tough. We also had friends whose mother fell down the stairs and died from it. What made it worse was the two grandkids saw it, they're like under 13 years old. So sorry to hear. We just came from a vigil service for a 57 year old who leaves behind her dad, her husband, and a son in the senior year of high school, not to mention her two younger siblings. Died from aneurysm that were discovered after checking into the hospital for migraines.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

| So sad. My deepest condolences and prayers for you all. I also pray this does not cause a rift within the family. There should be none, especially considering your wife wasn't told, what was she to do? I'm not aware or knowledgeable about Korean customs, but can they not delay the services for a day to afford your wife the opportunity to attend should she decide too? Horrible circumstance for sure.
