Not to be a bummer so early in the am: my beat friend of the past 14yrs who's like a brother to me - well his dad decided to end it all last week and the memorial is set for memorial weekend but I want to go but it's gonna be a sad depressing booze fest and since I a not drinking and this shit is gonna take place in the desert while I am 30weeks I feel like I shouldn't go. What do I do?

It's been really hard and the whole family didn't want to tell me because they didn't want me to get upset (which I don't fucking get at all) but I feel the need to be there for my friend.
You need to go.
Jubilee is wise in the ways of the world...and your tag pretty much says it all. It sounds like it would mean a lot for your friend for you to be there, and that sounds like it outweighs everything else.
(Best thoughts to your friend and his family...what a terrible thing.)
yeah I agree, that person needs you there. and, in the long run, i think you'd regret not being there.
Go there.
I think you should go, even though it'll be tough for you I think it'll mean a lot to your friend if you went and showed support.
I imagine they didn't want to upset you because of the baby, that kind of stress isn't good for a mom-to-be.
Yeah. I talked to his mom because I finally got hold of her but her sister wouldn't tell me when he daughter was posting sad things on facebook and tried to ask her what was wrong but she said she couldn't tell me just yet because they didn't want to upset me. His mom is like my mom and we are all very close. It's just very sad but I have to make sure I get the okay from my dr because I am getting close to the magic at term number going out to the desert for a camping event for a weekend in the middle of nowhere with no phone service is cutting it close. But I know I want to be there.
