A classmate of mine from high school was killed in a car accident. Since I graduated with 500 kids from high school, I did not really know this person well, but I was in a few classes with her. I can't say we were close, but I feel like I was still friends with her, seeing as we worked down the street from each other, and almost always run into each other.
I went to the funeral, mass, and burial, and then to the after party. I did feel a bit out of place, since everyone at the after party was a close friend or family member, but there were some other classmates of mine that were there, that I am close to.
My mother thought it was inappropriate to have attended the after party, but the family thought it was a nice gesture that someone she went to school with came. I expressed my concerns with her father and some of her cousins, and they all thought it was a nice gesture.
Was I right to have attended the after party?
