Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after holing myself up in my room for the day, I eventually turned my phone back on and told my girlfriend that my grandma passed away today. She replied, "Ask me if I fucking care," then accused me of not caring about our relationship because I went offline all day. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML
Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I didn't call her in the last few days. I tried to explain to her that I was out at my grandfather's house in a remote place with no cell service to stand by him on his death bed. She thought I was making excuses and called me a lying bastard. FML
Today, I found out my grandmother passed away. When I told my boyfriend I began to cry. Instead of caring, he said "you're getting my bed wet," rolled over, and fell asleep. FML
Today, I had to send a picture of my Grandma at her funeral to my girlfriend, because she thought I was out cheating on her. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my now ex-girlfriend over the recent passing away of my grandmother. Her eyes glazed over multiple times, and when I said that I don't know how to cope with everything, her advice was simply, "Shotgun. Mouth. Blam." FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML

That's awful. Some people don't know what to say when others are in pain, maybe, or maybe it was a joke you didn't quite catch and was at an unfortunate time. If she really is being so disrespectful to your grandfather and so careless about your grief, confront her about it. It's not the kind of thing you can just let slide in a relationship.

what possibly made her think that would comfort you... Unless she thinks you're going to hell too?

I don't even understand what would possess her to say that? Did she think it was a joke to make you laugh? Is she a religious nutcase who thinks everyone is going to hell? What a terrible human being.

In what tone was this said! Lots of people don't know how to handle death, and some make inappropriate jokes without thinking about what they are saying

Well, OP. Did he do things that would traditionally send him to Hell? It's a legitimate question.

Perhaps she said "heaven" but you misheard her? Sounds contradictory to me if she tried to cheer you up and gave you a listening ear, then told you that your late grandpa is going to hell. :/

OP's girlfriend might be a Jehohvah's Witness- when my wife passed away, I actually got a condolence letter from a nearby Kingdom Hall, which basically said she'd gone to hell & I would too if I didn't join their church. They have a lot to learn about winning people over to their side, let me tell you.

#88- JW's don't believe in hell. I'd know, half my family members are one. They were probably telling you about how you'll see her again or something.

That's interesting. True, they didn't use the word 'hell' but it sure sounded like that's what they meant. As I recall it said things like "she's not in a good place now" and "nothing can be done to help her." Then went on to warn me I was on the same path and I should come to them if I wanted to avoid the same fate. I'm guessing they were basing all that on the fact that her obit mentioned we were members of a Catholic church; I know the JWs don't like Catholicism much.
