Re: I just need to 'talk' this over
Is there anyone here that you can leave DS with?
That way you can fly by yourself and have some time alone to grieve.
I would just be overnight, right?
It sounds like this will be important for you to be at and I think it will mean a lot to your friend's husband.

Nobody to leave him here with. We have no family here and DH is working very important overnights this week. It sounds horrible, but only if it had happened last week. I could've dropped him off with MIL and her husband on my way up. (They are teachers.)
I have made the difficult decsion to not go. I keep trying to think of other ways to do it. I looked up Amtrak, but even DH is asking how I will go on the LIRR to Penn with our luggage and the carseat in tow. And it's not even the travel. My family up there has made it adundantly clear that watching DS during the wake tomorrow night will be difficult on them. 
Some of us are working on a swim invitational to raise money for her children. (We were all swimmers. That's how we met) I will put my efforts into that. The group of us not making it up there are sending a gift card to Wegmans right now. Her husband and kids need us after this week and we will be there for them.
Thank you all for your advice.

Re: Thanks for your input. I am not able to go.
I am so sorry for your loss but I think you made the best decision. You are right in saying that her husband & children will need you after this week is over. It seems like you will do the right thing & be there for her family after when they need you. I am in sure in time you will make your way up to Rochester to spend time with her family & visit her.

It must have been extremely difficult for you... I hope you have a chance to talk to her DH... I'm sure he would understand... and hopefully you can raise money for her kids...

I know it must be so upset about not being able to go. I'm sure your heart will be there. I'm so sorry about your friend and that you're going through this.
