Family friends not wanting anything to do with me after loss

My DM died suddenly 14 years ago, when I was still at uni and very vulnerable. People who were family friends who I'd known my whole life stopped seeing me or even responding to me - and still now if I try to visit or even just text I'm told they don't want to see me. I get that it might be painful for them, but it sort of feels like they don't consider how I feel being that she was my DM and I might've needed them to at least be around. I haven't been constantly trying to contact them or anything, but they'll see my DSD who was married to her and they won't see me. I've just been erased from their lives.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like you lost your DM very young and that must have been so difficult. Flowers

The behaviour of the family friends is very difficult to comprehend and just seems very selfish and rude. I am sure that your DM would have been horrified to see you treated this way.

Do you have any relatives of your DM who you still see regularly?

Flowers I just can't understand people at all. What you have been through must have been so painful. Do you have other family near or far?
