So my grandmother in-law died....

and I’m taking it suprisingly hard. I mean I’m ok now, but I when it first happend on Friday, I was really upset. I seemed more upset than my husband or his family. I don’t know why. I guess it is because I never suffered a loss of a family member of friend. I’ve had more conversations w/her than I have my own grandparents.

It just amazes me how no one has shed a tear. Not even my husband has even sniffled. I know some families are like that. I’ve never seen them hug, kiss, or even say I love you. They don’t give presents or call on birthdays. No one comes over for dinner or swings by “just because.” I try to change that. For my husband’s birthday, I cook him his favorite meal (or whatever he’s in the mood for) I make him a cake, and buy him presents. That is what was always done for us.

I guess it makes me doubly sad because I was talking to my mom earlier, and she was waiting for my siblings to come over for dinner. I really wanted to be there. I miss my family a lot.
I guess there isn’t really a point for this post. I’m just sulking

WomanOfScorn, I’m sorry for your loss. It seems to me that perhaps part of the reason you were saddened by it was because your SO’s family isn’t very loving. Perhaps you are sad that now, they’ve missed that particular opportunity forever. I could be completely wrong, of course, but it seems like the kind of thing that might upset me.
