[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry for your loss, OP. I do think you need to tell your husband to ask his mom why she didn't at least send a card or in some way acknowledge the loss of your grandmother. I think it's OK for him to tell her that you were very close to your grandmother and that you are very saddened by her passing. It's really OK to tell someone they've hurt you, even if they don't respond the way you'd like them to respond. You do it for you, not them. If you don't you will spend your time resenting them and seething, and they will be oblivious while you are hurting.

Not to defend your MIL, but she may not have known anything about your relationship with your grandmother. I was not close to my grandmothers, so I did not grieve when they died, but a friend of mine was so close to her grandmother that it took years for her to recover from the loss. Your DH should tell your MIL if you have any hope of having a decent relationship in years to come. She needs to know she's hurt you and your family.
