Today, my mother-in-law asked for a copy of my son's death certificate so she could have her week-long island beach holiday classed as bereavement leave. FML
I agree, your life sucks 50 920
You deserved it 2 976

drbckflps tells us more.

I haven't read all the comments yet but thank you for your condolences. This is indeed the grandmother of my son and no, she didn't take the holiday as a way of grieving - it was purely opportunistic. She wasn't even polite to us at the funeral: her words to me were, "In six months when I get back you'll have forgotten this whole thing ever happened." Very disappointing. Thank you all again. I'll reply again when I get a chance to read some more comments.

That's horrible:( I'm sorry for your loss!

Everyone can grieve differently, but that just seems a bit heartless and opportunistic. I'm sorry for your loss OP, I can't imagine how that feels.

Sorry for you loss op, sorry to say it but she seems like a total bitch to do that, she should be there comforting you, lost both my younger brothers so I can understand your pain

Sorry for your loss OP, but reply "unkindly" that during a time of unimaginable loss, you can't even fathom how her main concern is using his passing to reclassify her beach trip as bereavement leave so she gets another week off of work! Does the "bitch" even care about her daughter and son-in-law who just lost a CHILD!
