What is the seating arrangement at the wake? Did I get it wrong?
My husband of 39 years recently passed away. At the wake I asked that my children sit in order of birth with their spouse, then my mother-in-law and sister-in-law (the only living immediate family). When people came to give condolences they would be met by my SIL first, MIL, youngest son, oldest son and spouse, daughter and spouse and then I would be last (closest to the casket). My mother-in-law has not spoken to me since. Did I do this wrong?
