If you are in another country & someone in your family died,will you come home?

I am an overseas worker, came to work in another country just so I can help out and support my family, this is the primary reason why I came to be here in a foreign land. I just lost my grandfather who is very dear to me and to whom,my siblings and me we owe a lot. He was the one who had struggled to bring us up. I want to come and pay my last respect to him before he will finally be laid to rest. I filed an emergency leave and my boss had given me an advice to think things over before deciding to go home and say my last goodbye to the person who had molded me to who and what I am today, my boss told me to be practical, since as he said, nothing will ever change if I come home or not, since my beloved grandfather is already dead, instead he told me since I've done my part in helping out to the family, I should think about myself now, since it will not benefit me if I go home, but my heart is breaking into pieces whenever the idea of not seeing my grandfather anymore in this lifetime occurs to me, I have not seen him for over two years and now that he will laid to final rest I was advice to think twice, If anyone of you came to be in this situation will you come home or will you be practical?
