14. GOOD NEWS -- Miscommunication VS power trip is my sister's new assessment.

Mar 2022

My one cousin was trying to protect the caregiver and son of my Aunt (albeit heavy handed) but my sister believes the "don't come to the funeral or send flowers" was more to protect my sister from financial loss as we are out of state and it would be more expensive and the funeral planned is low key.

Damage is done, but it makes it easier to not be as angry if this wasn't a draconian overstep.
