AIBU?

Is this a little insensitive?

Sorry. I'm a little Hmm

My lovely aunt died this morning. My brother has just posted his condolences on Facebook and has posted on my cousins (aunty's grand daughter) page that my mother's upset because she's worried about how she's going to get to the funeral. Given that she only died this morning I'm quite annoyed as they have just lost their granny/mother, have not arranged anything and this really isn't their problem! AIBU?

He doesn't think. I doubt they will be checking it, thank god. I can't get through on the phone so have had to send him a message on bloody facebook! I wish I could slap him!

I've just called and he's changed it. I can't believe he's my brother!

YANBU. Hopefully he'll get it off but if they receive e-mail notifications, the message will be on there and it won't be retracted.

How old is he? I'm sure he meant well and was thinking of your mum but forgot about everyone else in the process!

Ye gods!

Is that what he put? that is cringeworthy.

Was it your Mum´s sister?

In which case she will surely be thought of when arrangements are made?

Oh shit, you may need to keep bashing for a long time to get that one out.

Can't you or your brother take your mum to the funeral?

I cut and paste it so it's word for word (bar names). It was my father's SIL, she only passed away this morning. I've no idea what goes through their heads sometimes.

I don't drive, mother is waiting for a hip replacement so her mobility is zero at the moment. We can sort out a taxi for her though, there was no need to ask my cousin. She'll be very upset and doesn't need this.
