First off I hope you had a great thanksgiving. Mine was filled with death. Our very close friend of my husbands father passed away suddenly and then my aunt passed away last night due to a vehicle accident. I have a large Italian family. My other aunts and uncle were notified. We normally have a call tree set up but however due to the time of night my mother thought it was best to wait to call my sisters and I until this morning.
I found out before the call was made due to my classless cousins (2 of them, which are technically 2nd cousins and younger than my sisters or I) on facebook. They took it upon themselves to post it on not only their Facebook but my newly deceased aunts page. I am not friends with these two already on facebook but because they tagged my aunt that's how I saw it.
I set the call tree in motion this morning when I found out and told my 3 sisters who also saw the post but not until after I told them first. They are also very hurt by our cousins classless approach on notifying everyone. To the point my oldest sister messaged one of the cousin.
My oldest aunt is their grandmother and I must the apple doesn't fall from the tree. Apparently upon coming to grip with loss of her sister (a few hours) demanded the remaining pain pills my deceased aunt had for back pain....
I have already cut ties with the cousins and will be following suit with my aunt.
I hate that death brings the worst out in already horrible people.
I don't really need any advice thanks to being a lurker here for almost 5 years and now having a spine of titanium when dealing with shit. Just wanted your lamas to have a snack and to remember to hug and love your non BSC family.
