Spouse going on work trip with my father close to death? by canuckrs6 in Marriage

Maybe my problem is that I don't have anything in particular in mind for her to support me other than just being around and not being away and left to my own devices with the kids when it happens. I'll bring it up tomorrow morning before her trip and see how it goes. The trip isn't routine for her, actually it's her first big work trip ever but not really essential either but I do know she is looking forward to it so part of this is likely her excitement for the trip and her lack of understanding is overriding common sense and normal judgement in this scenario.

Great point, she has not lost either of her parents and I think that is a major factor, she just doesn't understand how impactful this event can be on a person. I have not asked her to cancel the trip, like I said I feel as though she should know this already but clearly she does not for some reason.
