I know for me, I'm not angry at the person that is gone, I'm just mad at the rest of the world. It's really tough that the person who meant the most to me is now gone and not with much notice either. I'm glad she didn't have to suffer though. I went through that with my granddad, he suffered for awhile with lung cancer.

Yes, that's it!
You know who I'm most angry at is my in-laws, who have gone about their lives barely acknowledging that they've lost their brother, son, nephew, cousin. I haven't seen or heard from any of them in more than two years. They don't call to ask me how I'm doing, if I have plans for Easter dinner, etc. It makes me downright furious.

That's a shame. Do you think it's possible that they just might still have a hard time dealing with it after so long, and never let themselves deal with it, and therefore avoid you for that reason or something?
At my family member's funeral, her family from out of state except for a couple people, barely acknowledged those of us who'd spent forty-five, or in my case, thirty years very close to her. Even though I've never known them well, it kind of hurt. ((Hugs))

That is tough and wrong. Did you get along with the in-laws before your husband died? I am sorry to hear of this.

Ohiogirl, that's really sad. I'm so sorry they won't stay in touch. Not only did you lose your husband, you lost his family, too. Have you tried calling them, just to see why they've withdrawn?
When my husband died, his parents had died many years earlier, as had mine, so all he had left was his sister and her husband. Fortunately, we've stayed close and I think it's because of my kids. She is very close with them, and they with her. She also loves their kids and dotes on them, so I'm grateful for that. She lives in Denver, and after my husband died, we've split holidays. Every other Thanksgiving I go up there, and every other one she comes here. Same for Christmas. It's worked out really well.
I sure felt angry and frustrated the other day when I took my friend to the ER. The doctor on duty was arrogant and bossy and he treated my friend like a "stupid child."...It brought back memories of some of the doctors my family members encountered when they were sick...Normally, I'm easy-going and soft-spoken but I turn into a "lion" when I run into doctors or nurses who treat patients with disrespect.

I'm sorry that you haven't heard from your husband's family...I don't hear from my husband's brothers or wives or other family members...My husband was the youngest of 5 brothers. I wonder if my husband's older brothers have trouble facing their own mortality. (Not sure.)
I so hate arrogant doctors, CA. I would like to dope slap them. Fortunately I've only met one. Back in the early 80s when I went to a neurologist when I had my first "attack" of my MS. He was rude and gruff, almost surly. I have learned most neuros don't have good bedside manners but this guy was the worst. O'Reilly was his name. Maybe he was a hungover Irishman. My Israeli neuro doesn't have much either but I rarely see him anymore. I see an assistant mostly and I like her. Hope your friend got the help he/she needed regardless.

Tami.. I'm glad you haven't had to deal with many arrogant and abusive doctors.. My friend didn't receive proper care at the hospital on Saturday. We need to file a complaint..Took my friend to see his regular doctor yesterday. And, he had tests taken at the other hospital in our area...Thankfully, he was treated with respect yesterday and he received the care he needed and deserved. YEA!

That's good to hear, CA. Is this the friend whose dog just died and had a heart attack?
