Received word early this morning that my brother died late yesterday (apparent heart attack). The services are going to be Mon. or maybe Tues. in another state. If I attend, I'll lose 3 to 5 days of training, which really sucks. What should I do? If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't want my brother to miss a big chunk of training just to put me in the ground.

No, this is not a joke.
