In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to someone who is hurt their relative never reached out following a death in the family.Our cousin “Maria” is getting married in a couple of months. As a family, we’ve always shared all of our life-events, along with our mom, who died just over a week ago at over 100 years of age.Maria is having a bridal shower in two weeks and a sendoff next month for her destination wedding.
Maria is aware of Mom’s passing and hasn’t called, did not attend the funeral, and did not express her condolences.We also are not comfortable attending her pre-wedding celebrations. We considered not going to these parties, or maybe attending and first sending a polite note expressing our disappointment.– Upset CousinYou should call your cousin. Ask her how her wedding planning is going and tell her you are excited for her. She may take the opportunity to bring up your mother’s death and express her condolences.
If she doesn’t, you should tell her, “As a family, we share our celebrations and sorrows. We were disappointed not to hear from you after mom died. She lived a good and long life, and you were an important part of that.”
