[quote=Anonymous]OP. I am very sorry about your father. This is a milestone no one wants to achieve and I was just there myself last year with my own father's very sudden and extremely traumatic death.

I've been with my DH for 25 years, he's one of 4 and I am so close to one of his sisters that she even married one of my best friends (to whom I introduced her). NONE of my inlaws came to my father's funeral, not my SILs, BILs or my DH's parents. All of them lived a plane ride away so it really would have been a big hassle for them. But I had helped my DH take care of his own mother when she had a terminal illness for years, and even given the eulogy at her funeral. I got 2 text messages that said "sorry about your dad" and that was it. No phone calls, no letters, no cards, no flowers, no nothing really.

It does kind of sting, but everyone deals with grief in different ways and we all view what is appropriate with grief in different ways. Your SIL will be in your life for a very long time. I would not allow one hiccup to ruin the relationship.

I am very sorry you are hurting. You are not alone. I hope you find peace.[/quote]
