AIBU to be torn over whether I should be happy or not?

Clodagh's husband, the family annihilator, was buried with his wife and children, which caused a huge outcry at the time (quite rightly), because she and her boys were being forced to lay in their final resting places with the person who took their lives in such a brutal and disgusting way.

When I first read the article I was just happy that he had been removed from their grave and they would spend eternity without him, but as I thought further, I realised he had just got his own way once more, because it was only once it was discovered that he had wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered at sea that his wishes were once more observed.

So his wife and children finally get to rest in peace without him, but only because he requested it!

Am IBU? Should have just be happy they are without him. Honestly don't know as I'm a bit of a wreck just now so not always thinking straight. Hope all this makes sense.

There is just nothing to be happy about here.

There's something very wrong with the world we live in, or with our species, that people can even think of doing such a thing.

Be happy for them that they are now free of him. In the end, that's all that matters now.

It sounds like you need some help, or more help. If you are a wreck and something like this is really stressing you or upsetting you. You can't live like this 💐

Ultimately, they were 'free' of him the moment they were killed, though of course that's the worst kind of freed. As a social point of view, yes it's quite shocking he was buried with them, it has had an obvious affect on the immediate family and the community. However, it cannot affect those who have passed, I'm just glad he's been moved to avoid the grave being desecrated further.
