Plus: After 18 months, he’s still wishy-washy about marriage.
His wife had him cremated the following day instead of having a funeral. She didn’t inform his immediate family about it until it was over.Please accept my sympathy for the passing of your younger brother. When the sibling is younger, the loss can be particularly poignant.
We don’t know if the subject of funerals, memorials, burials or cremations was ever discussed between your brother and his wife. If you are wondering, rather than judge her, ask her. He may have expressed a wish not to be put into the ground, or he may have been cremated for financial reasons. The problem is, he goes back and forth about marriage. I have made it clear that, although I have no desire to pressure him, I do want to be married again one day. I said I’d rather be let go than led on. He said he isn’t sure, and some days he says he may never remarry.
