My wonderful DH died last year after a battle with cancer. We didn't manage to have children but had the most wonderful, happy marriage.
I've recently found out my PIL held a church service in celebration of his life and have excluded me.
I was googling for inspiration for something and googled my DH's full name and up popped an entry in the announcement section of my PIL local paper which invited anyone who knew DH to come to a service to celebrate his life at their local church.
Last fucking year. I had no idea, and wasn't invited. I have written to them to tell them how upset I am - that they have demonstrably split me up from my husband, and to tell them I am unable to see them or speak with them as a result of it. Am I over reacting? Is it a normal thing to do and I can't see it? We had a wonderful funeral and celebration for him when he died, organised by me and including them.
Am I overreacting to be so hurt by this? I know that DH would have been raging - he most certainly would not have wanted me excluded.
I've name changed for this - it is too identifiable not to. Sorry.
