Dinah -
My first thought was different than my current one. Since I own my business, I have total flexibilty in vacation planning (to a point). My husbands cuurent job, only gives him 3 weeks. So this Easter, I'm taking my kids to visit my mom
(however dsyfunctional) in a warm hot state. I know he feels a little left out, but he didn't want to burn a week there, and why should the kids and I sit at home all week when I can be soaking up the sun in Arizona (and my sister and her kids are going too)?
BUT ... I would never ever go to DISNEY without my husband. That's a family vacation for sure!! Totally different, and I agree, I would feel hurt if the situation was reversed. But if my husband wanted to take the kids to visit his mom in New Mexico and I couldn't go, I would encourage that journey and relish the time to myself.
It's hard, but can you consider the possibility of telling your boss that you and your husband have been planning this trip for awhile and with all the personal loss, your son really needs a family vacation now? Is working via laptop a possibilty?
