'Illness or death can cause havoc in family relationships because it can raise complicated, conflicted feelings,' a relationship therapist told Newsweek.
In this case, the widow wrote of the mom:"I've always hated that woman. She has always been cruel to him, put him down every chance she could. When we called saying her son was terminally ill, she first denied it, insisted we were lying. Then she went on about how we should've seen this coming, that this is just what happens when you're a drunk.
"I wasn't doing very well at the time, everything just happened so fast. I wasn't ready to make any of those decisions, and between the doctors and the bills and just seeing him so sick, I didn't even think about his mother. In the days after, I just didn't want to deal with her. I know that's horrible, but I was just so tired," the wife explained.
"This adds a difficult dimension to the grieving process, and anger or shame may dominate relationships with other surviving family members," Kivits said."Individuals may have different expectations of each other in the aftermath of an illness or death, and this can be heightened by grief." Another reply added:"Blood relationship does not entitle anyone to be in someone's life. She didn't earn a place in her son's life. That's on her."
