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 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.

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.

Mother-in-law switched around can spell "Woman Hitler"...

Holy Lord. I dearly hope you refused. And if she ever expresses anger or confusion over your refusal, I hope you punch her square in the jaw. That's a nice way to console a family member over the loss of a child. I wonder how SHE would feel if her child died and you did the same thing to her. I'm sorry for your loss, OP.

Good lord I'm so sorry, OP. I can only imagine how hard it was before she had the nerve to ask, that's just disgusting. I know no words I say will be of comfort but I truly am sorry. Some people don't have a heart and it's sickening.
