[quote=Anonymous]OP, people have different ways of handling loss and death. This family member's behavior isn't about you, or anyone else - it is about her. Maybe she has not yet registered the loss, or maybe she is at peace with it. The people at funerals that I don't understand are the ones who always have to make the speeches, and they go on and on and on, ad nauseam, because they have to put the focus on them, at every chance (they do this at other people's weddings, too). As long as she is trying to help, she feels useful, and it might be her way of managing an otherwise awkward situation - she wants to help. It shouldn't be a big deal. Some people laugh at funerals, because they are grief stricken, and simply don't know what else to do. They deal with the loss in their own time, on their own terms, and that is fine. Don't try to DCUM psychoanalyze or make it about you. [/quote]
