Funeral question?

My girlfriends grandfather recently passed and i said i was going to try as best i could to make it to the funeral to support her. I live two hrs away and if i go to the funeral i will miss two very important college classes that are covering the material on the midterms that i dont understand that i cannot afford to miss. I want to be there for her but i feel that in doing so i will fail my tests. What should i do? I sent her and her mother flowers and apparently that was not good enough
Funeral question?
Call her and be honest with her. I know this is a very hard time for her, but if you miss out on important material and don't do well on your midterms you will be in a hard spot as well. She should understand. Plan some time afterwards to spend alone and help her get throught his tragic ordeal, maybe a weekend away to the beach or something special to do to try and get her mind away from the present state it is going to be in. Best of luck with the gf and midterms.
Reply:Well, communication. If my boyfriend told me what you are telling me now, i would completey understand. If you girlfriend is bratty after telling her that, I think you need a new girlfriend.
Reply:I think you should call her and explain about your midterms. Right now your education is very important, she is important also but she will likely have other family members to lean on. She may not understand but do your best to try make her understand that this is your future that you are working towards. I know that the funeral is important also for your girlfriends sake but like I said she will be with other family members. Take Care , Good Luck and God Bless.
Reply:you said that you will try to be their. you should go she needs you. talk to you teacher and get the notes you will need to study for the test. you can always make up the test. how would you make up not going to a funerial. look in you heart
Reply:explain the situation to your school and see if you can get the information you need to for the classes you would miss. if they cannot help out, then explain to your friend. i would just make sure you take time as soon as you can to be by her when your midterms are over. she may be upset, but with what happened it's understandable. good luck with everything and take care.
Reply:Well ask someone if they can make a copy of the notes 4 u. Then u can go to ur girlfriends grandfathers funeral.
