Vent About Relatives

starburst0928

Has anyone felt like their family acts as if they are grieving just as much as you are?

I'm getting really sick of my relatives telling me how strongly they feel about Bradley, or how sad they are.  I get it, you can be upset too, but do I need to remind you that I am his mother? I bet I am the most upset, I bet I'm the one that cries non-stop, I bet I am the one who doesn't sleep at night, and I'm the one who just wants to put him back inside so I can feel him wiggle around once more. 

No one misses my baby more than me. Stop pretending you are just as upset as me.

 Ugh. Vent over.

After we lost our Isabella my mom just kept saying that it was her grandaughter too and that she had a connection with her. She kept telling me about the box she made for her and that she lite a candle for her everynight. She kept going on and on about how sad she was and that her husband didn't understand. I wanted to throat punch her. I am not saying that she doesn't have a right to be upset or sad. Isabella is her grandaughter. She just needed to talk to somebody else about it. I know she was trying to let me know she cares but I felt like I had to comfort her. Not exactly what I wanted to do.

One thing I have realized is that most people do not know the right thing to say or do and even if they did I would probably still pick it apart. As long as they are not intentally being mean I try not to get upset about the things that are said or not said.
