My 99 year old grandma died two days ago. I thought I would have been ok when she passed but it’s affecting me more than I thought. DH keeps saying she’s 99 I can’t expect her to live forever and that I’m making a big deal out of it.

I’m sorry for your loss op.

yes, of course you’re allowed to be upset.

Does he often belittle or dismiss your valid feelings op? It’s not a good look.

It doesn't matter how old she was. You've lost someone you care about.

Your husband is vile.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Of course you're 'allowed' to be sad. How exactly is your grieving inconveniencing him?
