Funerals are more important for the living than for the dead.
They are a way to honor a persons memory and gain closure.
Thats why people put a lot of importance on attendingfuneralsand get mad if someone misses the event.
This happened to a woman who was going through immense struggles.
Despite knowing that, her mom blew up at her for not showing up to her great-grandmoms funeral.
But, sometimes,lifegets in the way of doing that.
But how could she do that while feeling heartbroken and struggling with doing basic tasks?
Amiscarriageis a life-altering and traumatic event.
It also causes a big change in hormone levels, which can lead to sickness and mood swings.
Its incredibly difficult, and it makes sense that a person would feel overwhelmed.
A person whos lost their child needs a lot of love, care, andsupportfrom the people around them.
Instead, her mother-in-law was sending creepy and rude messages criticizing her ability to manage household tasks.
Even her own mom was being dismissive of herfeelingsand the pain she was dealing with.
This poor woman still tried to be sensitive to her mom and mother-in-laws feelings despite going through so much.
Thats why commenters reminded her it was time to turn off her phone and look after herself.
Hopefully, she listened to the advice and took the time to grieve without listening to anyone elses criticisms.
