Guilt

Hope everyone is ok, I’ve not been on for a while, had a terrible few weeks, if anyone’s ever read my previous posts about how vile my micks family have treat me since he passed, it got a lot worse a few weeks ago, one of his brothers wives decided to start an argument with me in a busy shopping centre, I’m a very confrontational person and hot head to start with, she passed a comment which felt like I’d been stabbed in the guts!! She said I left mick to die, this escalated into a a brawl which I didn’t think she expected cos I’ve never reacted to her before!! I was having a bad depression day and lost it a bit! Mick died in his sleep and I’ve had counselling over my guilt of not being able to save him, I’m now on Prozac so her comment sent me backwards and I went into shock for about 3 days!! Not proud of my behaviour towards her but I can’t ever forgive or forget what she said!! Why are people so vile and rotten!! I’d of gave anything to save him!! And I have to live with that! :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:

I’m sorry that you’ve been upset by this dreadful person, a good person would never intentionally hurt someone like this, sounds to me like she’s projecting guilt that she & her husband may feel onto you?

If you encounter his family again just hold your head up high & walk past without stopping & don’t give them a reaction to anything they say as that’s what they want.

You & Mick know the partnership that you were & how you were their for each other, there was nothing you could do to save him, maybe take comfort in the fact that he was warm & comfortable & you were beside him, I’m sure if he could talk to you now that’s what he would say & to not bite with his family, what did they do for him?

He had nothing to do with any of them and I reminded her had I not been there he would have been there for days :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed: just absolutely disgusted at what she said :disappointed: she said I didn’t bother with his grave anymore, I still go but I don’t take flowers anymore as they bin them, I’d love to know what I’ve actually done to them, it’s cos he never told them about me, he wanted them to
Know nothing about his life! :disappointed: definitely guilt
On their part, thanks for replying, a lot
Of people have said that, I hope they suffer everyday, you’d think they’d be happy he had someone looking after him but no, utter jealousy!! I dread to think what will happen if I see her again, I will have to walk away, cos it’ll be bedlam again!! And she’s not worth getting into trouble for :disappointed::disappointed::disappointed:

My hubby passed a month ago now,he didn’t want his family knowing about anything,i have respected his wishes,like he said they never bothered when he was alive so why bother when he has passed,said they would only come to the cremation make themselves feel better.Agree with Flower garden if you see them again,just walk past them,don’t lower yourself to their level,i think they are getting at you because they can’t deal with the grief,and wished they had done more.Sending you a hug.
