When someone passes away in your life, there are a lot of different things that you need to take care of, and many don't understand the extensive process of even planning a funeral. So on top of the emotions, all the to-dos, and having your normal life at home, it can be a lot.

This Redditor felt the effects of this after they lost their dad, and they were dealing with all of the aftermath things. This person came to Reddit to see if they were wrong for forgetting to follow up with their dad's colleagues about funeral plans after his passing.

OP explains in detail why they forgot and just overall how the colleagues had a high chance of seeing the info even if OP didn't tell them. This isn't a crazy story; it's more laid back, but sometimes it's nice to go over those in the midst of all the craziness that's usually on the internet.

If you're interested in hearing more about this situation and seeing what people had to say in the comments section below, then you'll want to check out this full post, as we're going to give you all the details. Let's hop in and check out the original post so we can form our own opinion on OP's situation.

OP's post was pretty descriptive and they gave details on the situation and what happened with the email.

They explained what the colleague put in his email and why it bothered OP as they took it as an attack.

People were a little bit all over the place in the comments because they had a lot of different opinions on the situation.

This person understood just how not serious this situation was and essentially said nobody did anything wrong.

A lot of people gave OP the benefit of the doubt because of everything that they are going through.

The obituary was online which means they could have checked but OP said he'd follow up.

Some people called out OP and said that they should have followed up if they said they would.

It's definitely a rough time for everyone, we can agree with that. We don't think OP's really in the wrong.

It could be looked at this way too and we could say both of them are in the wrong for what they did.

OP responded to this comment and let us know how they proceeded to reply to the email sent by the colleague.

This is very true that most of us would try to actively find information on the funeral service or any other information.

People offered their condolences to them because we all know that losing someone is hard.

This is also something to consider too is that they are just colleagues, not close family or anything.

We feel like OP isn't really in the wrong for this because we know that it's hard when you lose someone. However, the colleagues should definitely have taken the initiative to look up the information themselves if they were concerned about it.

What do you think about this situation?
