Quick run down.
Wifes grandpa just died. the wake is sunday, funeral is monday at noon. I work nights sun-tuesday. I would have to take 2 days off work because the funeral is in san diego and Im in AZ. I cant afford to take more time off work but feel horrible I cant go with my wife. what should I do?

Have you asked your wife what she thinks yet?

I would go with your wife, especially if she was close to her grandfather. She may need the support that you can provide. Work is not more important than the needs of your wife.

As far as work goes, is there anybody that you can switch with so that you can make up for the missed days of work?

Not being with your wife will cost much more than you would make those two days at work...

I cant call in at anytime and say im not comming in. Its one of our perks. However since I work 12 hour shifts I loose overtime. I would loose little over 100$s taking the time off. Cash is already tight.

female point of view.. be with your wife. I know when I am feeling sad, depressed, emotional and lonely the best fix is having my guys arms around me. He doesn't even have to talk to me just having him there is enough.

Were they close?

If so, move heaven and earth to be off and be with her through this...

JMHO.

My sincerest prayers for your wife and her whole family.

A very wise man once told me that when you're on your deathbed, you never wish you'd spent more time at work.

I'd go.

Does your employer have berevement admin leave or similar arrangement?

she will need you there with her.

i can't believe you would actually consider NOT going.

It really depends on your wife. A couple hundred $ is nothing in the larger scheme of things.

It's only money FFS. Just GO!

I say go. Even though she may not be all broken up right now. It may hit her in a couple weeks, or worse when she is attending the services. Go and don't look back.
