My grandfather (mom's dad) died yesterday unexpected. He was only 68. My mom is so totally not herself, like she has been lying in bed crying for 2 days! I loved my grandfather but he lived 3 states away, so really I have only seen him a few times in my life.
Although I did love him I can't really feel the pain that my mom must feel. I have tried to comfort her but evertime I do she grabs me and starts crying on my shoulder and saying that we kids (me and my sister and brother) take our dad for granted, and we should never take him for granted.
This depresses me because all of us kids have a decent relationship with the both of our parents but sometimes we just don't really show it outwardly.
So why does my mom turn her grief into something unbearable for all of us? I think my mom is using this as a reason to feel sorry for herself and the same time make all of us miserable. I would like some advice...thanks
