Fast turnover

Today, it is the one-year anniversary of my mother's death. It's also the day my father chose to announce his engagement, to the whole family. FML

Go to his fiancé when he's not around, say "you know, it's the anniversary of my moms death today, and he doesn't seem to care... Try imagining how much he really cares for you. If you think that's a lot, just think, when you die, he'll care just as much." And walk away. Let that thought sink in :P

Sorry, OP, but maybe you could just look at it like a celebration of life?

#32, I see your point, but with only a year since the death, the pain is still extremely raw, and even if the father isn't hurting, it's very inconsiderate of him to announce this on the anniversary. He should have considered how it would make his family members feel. Also, that was his spouse, I find it pretty disrespectful that he did this on the anniversary of his own wife's death.

Well, we don't know if they were married or not, but it was surely disrespectful to the daughter.

How could anyone click YDI for this one, seriously?

So he isn't allowed to move on and remarry?

Maybe he's trying to overlay the sad memories. But it was insensitive. Be glad you didn't have quite the experience my friend in high school did. Her father spent her mother's first death anniversary with his new wife on their honeymoon.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard this day is for you. :/
