[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really see the big deal.

Can't you just.. not cry at her house? It's a weird rule, but her house her rules.[/quote]

My mother who I wasn't even close with died three years ago. Yesterday a Neil Diamond song came on and it reminded me of when my mom and I listened to it when I was 18 and we sang together and danced around the living room. I cried. I did not schedule crying for that time - I had other things on my calendar. But that's how crying works - it just arrives. [/quote]
So you leave then? What are you going to do, just sit there crying in front of someone who told you they don't want to deal with that? Clearly she is struggling and overwhelmed and doesn't want to (or can't) deal with a bunch of people crying and reminiscing in her home. If you want to cry, cry somewhere else. [/quote]

Yes leave. Grief doesn't mean other people can't have boundaries. It's been 5 months, so if you really can't pull it together to go outside the house, you need professional help. [/quote]
