I didn't know she was sick; she didn't even tell my daughter. We've butted heads over the years since her son (my first husband) died, especially after I remarried. She always gave her granddaughter (my daughter with her son) more presents at Christmas, for example. She always criticized my other husbands (I remarried twice, and okay maybe they weren't great choices) and continued to talk badly about the last one, who I remain friends with. We had a final falling out when she asked for a ring belonging to her son, and I said no. It's all I have of his.
When my daughter told me she had died, I felt nothing at first. Then I felt like crying. Then I felt angry, mostly confused, not knowing how to feel. I woke up this morning wishing we had ironed out our differences, even though I had tried when she was alive. No chance to do that now. I cried my eyes out in the shower. I still don't know how to feel. Her son was an awesome person, so I know she raised him well & I admire her for that.
