My mother spat out at me that she would never forgive me for not giving my father a proper send off and that I was a disgrace to him and her. She was sober at the time.

I don't think I'll ever get over the hurt that one small comment caused me.

S*** as they say, happens.

That's awful Pyramid, I would have supported your stance on that,in fact I always refuse to take alcohol when at a funeral, before or after it. I just don't see the need for it.
