Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

Sounds like the perfect farewell! Get some rest, you must be exhausted.

Funerals are for the living. We need that special set aside time to grieve.

So, after the service DH and I took my son and his wife and my niece and nephew (children of my late sister) out for a nice lunch. We had a nice time visiting and catching up with niece and nephew.

And yes - we do need that special time to grieve. Not to feel attacked by a family member.

A couple hours after the funeral and lunch - this is the text I get from my nephew.

Why does death bring out the worst in people? Smh.....

Not even 8 hours after the service. I just don't get it...

IDK... But it does unfortunately.

Are you kidding me? He needs to be slapped.

It's called greed. Obviously they were not close to them in a personal way, dare say they EVER visited or even called while you cared for them. Now they see this as a $$ event.

Sadly, many funerals begin these family situations. As their mother has passed, they are looking for "her" share of any inheritances that may be out there. A shame they are not able to wait a few days before their quest -- like give everyone time to at least read the will!

I am glad the funeral went well and you did get to have a good lunch...well, good until the email. Hang in there!

It makes me profoundly sad. Just when I thought my life might regain some semblance of normalcy after all the turmoil.

FEM, I have no words No polite ones anyway… I cannot believe he can be so insensitive so soon after you buried your dad. And only a short time after burying your mom. I sincerely hope you can get everything sorted out quickly, including that little …. Just remember we're here if you want to talk, vent, anything

Neither do I....what a shame that this had to be handled this way.

I'm off today - last of my grievance days - and I'm having a really hard time getting motivated to do anything (except spoon up a bowl of ice cream for lunch), lol.

I did, at least, repair a water hose going out to the pasture that had sprung a big ol' leak. It was a hose that went out to the big pasture so it's nice to have that back in commission. Better than nothing I guess.

In good news - the African dust is moving on out so I can actually breathe when I go outside. Maybe later today I'll hop on the mower and get that out of the way.

Yay breathing! Ice cream sounds much nicer than mowing... I think more ice cream is in order!
