Funeral Attendance: Respect or Regret?

In this episode of The Twisted Truth, Corey Wesley explores the complex emotions surrounding funeral attendance, questioning whether it stems from love or guilt. He reflects on the societal norms that prioritize funerals over supporting loved ones during their lives, emphasizing the importance of presence and emotional labor. Corey shares personal experiences with family and friends, highlighting the need for genuine connections and support, especially for those in nursing homes. The conversation challenges listeners to consider how they honor relationships and the legacy they leave behind.

Takeaways from This Episode:

• Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call, visit, check in—now.
• Funerals often serve more to ease guilt than to express love.
• Presence is not just physical—it’s emotional labor, and it’s necessary.
• Performative grief might look like respect, but it often isn't.
• Real connection doesn’t require perfection, just consistency.

So ask yourself: Who in your life needs a visit? A call? A moment of your time? Don’t wait for the obituary to pay attention.

And as Corey signs off: “Tell someone you love them… say something while they're alive, not when they're gone.” 💐
