A Memorial Two Weeks Later??

It has been about two weeks since my friend hung herself. The friend who told me about it is saying that the board and care where I use to stay is now planning a memorial on Monday. My friend and I feel that it is too late for that. People have already started to heal and this will be like pulling a scab off a healing wound. It is bound to start bleeding again. Not only that, with the nearly 150 people living there, someone may be feeling like the board and care did not do all they could to help her and they maybe become angry and irate. I do not even have to know the circumstances surrounding her suicide to know that they could have done something long before it got to this point. I mean, the fact that they knew that she was doing and selling drugs, they could have intervened and at least got her out of that environment. With all the pain that she was in, she should have been put back in the rest home where she had been before. Do you agree that two weeks is too late or do you think, better late than never?

for family members, i think it would be better late than never - that is if that happened to one of my family members i can't really comment on anyone's behalf. cause we all have different ways of healing. sometimes a memorial can be a way to comfort someone's loss, you know, just giving your loved one the proper ceremony he/she deserves

I now agree that it is important to give a memorial to show that that person mattered.
