I have absolutely no doubt that my mother would do exactly that if my younger sibling died. At my father's funeral, she refused to sit next to my older sibling or me. Grabbed younger sibling and would not let her enter the pew at the church until older sib and I had gone in, so younger sib would be next to the mother.

I have reached the conclusion that i do not like red wine. Ptooey! At least, not the ones in my budget lol. I shall stick to white wines. I like lots of the ones I've tried.

I suspect Melania would be secretly relieved...

Ps I offered mom my appointment tomorrow but she doesn't want it. She is so maddening
