[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not close, if you haven’t seen her or spoken to her in many years.

And you’re hounding her for an audience after her mother just died?! Shame on you. Her mother just died and you are giving her lectures on “keeping her word”? She is GRIEVING, you moron. [/quote]

What does grieving have to do with being respectful and communicating with someone, even a quick text?[/quote]

Grief = you have a hard time focusing and functioning, AND when it is the death of a parent, you are likely being pulled in a thousand directions paying the funeral vendors, thanking friends of the deceased who came to the funeral, answering estate questions, dealing with lawyers, turning off phones and credit cards, etc.

Think. It. Through. If you just buried your MOTHER, would you have the bandwidth for some random friend you haven’t seen or spoken to in years? And even in a moment of hope or guilt or longing for normalcy, if you did make semi-plans that weren’t firmed up, would you really have the capacity to firm things up? Ugh. [/quote]
