This afternoon, my SIL's MIL passed away after a long illness. SIL is DH's sister.

Although I have heard many stories about the MIL (all good!), I never actually met her.

My question is this...since I never met the woman and I am not close at all to SIL, BIL or their children, should I attend her wake? I feel kinda funny going to it given that I didn't know her but then I don't want to seem callous or cold-hearted to SIL's family.

DH plans to go to the wake with his Dad whether or not I go along as his Dad just got out of the hospital on Monday and is not fully recovered. DH is going to drive him and keep an eye on him.

This is a situation that I have never been in before.

I do plan on cooking some food tomorrow to go drop off for the family.....though I am not sure yet what I'll cook.
