Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about a (generally well-liked) person that ended up being totally justified? If so, what happened? (lemmy.world)

My great aunt's husband. I had a bad feeling about him the moment I met him when I was a kid. Turns out he was a paedophile that got two of his granddaughters pregnant and was sent to prison. He died a few years ago and the family held a wake for him and I had to explain why I wanted nothing to do with him. WTF.

A wake was still held for him?! Ya no shit you didn't want to go.

What is a wake?

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

More or less a celebration of someones' life that is less formal than a typical funeral.
