Hi All,

I was wondering if you had forgotten about me lol. I am doing ok sad though. We had a girl from our high school killed over the weekend on a hit-and-run. Her name was Mariah McCarthy. Her two friends were in the accident with her but they’ll be fine. Is it a sin not to go to a funeral of a person you know? I didn’t know Mariah but if I don’t go to her funeral am I sinning? And I cried last night for her, and my brother, and my sister-in-law’s miscarriage too, and my great-aunt’s grandson drowned he was only 20 months. I didn’t cry when my dad told me that his parents had to take him off of life-support, and I didn’t go to his funeral cause I never met him. Last night though I felt so horrible cause I didn’t cry for him, and I was crying about Mariah, and my brother, and my sister-in-law’s miscarriage. I cried for all of them last night cause I felt so bad about everything going on.😦 Mariah was 14. Did I sin by not showing remorse for him when he died, and not going to his funeral? His name was Max by the way the boy who was taken off of life-support, and he has a twin sister. I am going to talk to my teacher tomorrow and tell her how I have been feeling. Cause Mariah’s death is horrible, and it’s also reminded me of a guy who died on Christmas morning and my brother was there when it happened. My grandma didn’t go to one of her brother’s funerals, so I was just wondering if not going to a funeral is a sin. And last night my brother was coming in my room to wish me good night, and I hid my face under the covers cause I didn’t want him to see me crying. Was I sinning by doing this? Did I commit pride or any of the 7 deadly sins by hiding my face from him? I have been angry bcause of Mariah’s death, and I am going to talk to my priest Saturday. Thank you so much everyone.

God Bless. Your friend, Amy
 
No, I don’t think you have sinned. Listen, I know it is hard when you are unsure if you are sinning, or whether you are sinning mortally, because I’m am scupulous, and this can hinder your faith. Often you know that what you are thiking is irrational or your concern is overboard. Please get help for yourself if your scrupulousity is affecting your life too much. I understand that medical advice should not be given on this forum, and I am not, I am just advising the OP to try to think through this situation.

Reader16, God is always with you and He knows your difficulties.
 
OP, I just want to add that you can’t control your feelings all te time, I mean sometimes we dont ‘feel’ emotional when we think we should, or we get these weird perverted thoughts. You know what i mean? :cool:
