Bereavement

[Meatballsforever]

The funeral of our late Queen made me think about bereavement and grieving.

A colleague at work lost her mother in 2011. Her mother was 85. She had a very close relationship with her mother, in fact so close she moved her mother in when she got married.

She's told us at work she still misses her mother now and cries about it. She posts on FB sad memes about "wishing there was a telephone connection to heaven so she could speak to her" etc.

Is it unkind of us to think she should have moved on by now?

Thank you all for your responses, I am going to bow out now.

I have decided to apply for another job elsewhere,

Wow. Your response to all these posts is to say you're changing jobs?! To avoid this particular colleague, because of their grief?!

All the best to you OP, you'll need it.

Interesting flounce.

Yeahhhhhhh that’s not really going to help you with your actual problem though, is it? Which is that someone displaying their sadness is intolerable for you.
