I have just found out today my mum died 10 weeks ago. I had no knowledge of this. We last spoke 1 year ago after 2 years of no contact. I had called several times after but calls not answered or returned. Just feel shocked that no one thought it was important to even let me know. We were once so very close but she had an increasing dislike of my partner and was incredibly hostile when I did ring.
Covid ended all meet ups and that was apparently my fault and exacerbated the breakdown. She never made an effort with my children despite promises she wanted to be a grandma.
I don’t feel any more sad/flat/despondent than I have for years. Never expected any inheritance even though it would be sizeable but for my kids to not get anything but a token gesture. Just don’t know what I am asking for with this post, just not in a position to talk yet I guess.
