[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in the same boat. I think a lot of people don't know how to handle death or illness. It was interesting to see that some of the most heartfelt messages came from people I barely know, while close friends or relatives weren't at all consistent. A couple texts but mostly silence. [/quote] +1. Sorry for your loss, OP. I don’t think a text is sufficient (particularly if they didn’t even attend the funeral). Having been through it twice, I would send food and a card/flowers, go to the funeral, and check in on the family. I think some people are self centered and don’t care, but others just don’t know what to do or feel uncomfortable with the situation for whatever reason. You can’t change them, though. Maybe try grief counseling?[/quote]
