Missed Funeral

Chris is in a mental ward because he is suicidal. Its the day of his girlfriend's funeral and his parents and caretakers at the ward refuse to let him to go the funeral because they don't think he is well enough to attend.
What would you do if your parents wouldn't let you go to the funeral of someone so close to you?

  1. I would try to find a way to go. I think by not letting him go to the funeral they're not letting the healing process of his loss begin. I'm not saying that as soon as the funeral is over that he'll feel just fine and won't miss his girlfriend at all but I think that it helps because you get to say goodbye in a sense.

  2. I completey hate funerals but it is a way to gain closure. I would be upset if they wouldn't let me go. I would try and find some way. I don't think its fair to have other people make that kind of a decision for you and tell you that you can't go. I don't think its fair at all.

  3. I haven't been to a funeral in a long time, but if one of my friends died and my parents didn't let me go, I would try to go anyway. But if it just becomes impossible for me to go, then I would just set time aside to remember her. I would probably take pictures out and take time to go through them and praying to God for strength.

  4. i would have been very upset and i would have probably got called even more crazy because i would probably freak out on them for not letting me go which would make the situation even worse! so ultimately they should just let me go to the funeral!
