Today, my grandmother died. No one called me to let me know she passed. I found out because people kept writing RIP on her Facebook wall. My siblings and I weren't even mentioned in her obituary with the other grandchildren, but they did remember to mention her dog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my grandfather died via Facebook, because apparently both my father and my aunt think posting a status about it immediately rather than calling family is the thing to do. FML
Today, I found an obituary clipping on my kitchen table. It was for my grandpa. No one told me he died. FML
Today, my idiot sister had to have her aged dog put down, then she posts on MY Facebook page, "RIP, Buddy, we'll miss you." My adult children and most of my friends thought I died. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
Today, I mentioned on Facebook that I'll be out of town over the weekend, because I am attending my grandmother's funeral. I soon got comments saying "Pics or it didn't happen" and "Killed her for the inheritance, eh?" followed by a solitary "LOLLL". FML
Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. 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
Today, I bitched out my grandmother, who lives with my family, for being lazy and laying in bed until 6-7pm for the past month. When I was done, she told me she had been diagnosed with cancer and was depressed because of it. Nobody had bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I finally found out what happened to my ex-girlfriend from my high school days, since a few years ago she suddenly stopped using social media and never returned my texts or calls to see how she was doing. Turns out she died, and no one bothered to inform me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry for your loss, OP. :( and I'm also sorry that whoever wrote the obituary is a dumbass.

Somehow I don't think grandma wrote her own obituary or was in charge of notifying the grandkids. You know, being dead and all.

Sounds like something my family would do. When my great aunt died i txtd my cousin asking where everyone was (no one was picking up their phones and my phone battery was almost flat) and if our great aunt had passed. Her response was "how dare you ask such a thing through txt you tactless bitch" Thanks cuz.

Well the family is supposed to give the paper all of the information. So I'm guessing one of your aunts/uncles don't like you guys. Although, your parents should've known and they should've told you about it.

81 - Your thanking her why? Did that give you a boner or something? I'm confused. She isn't showing much.

#83, how is it selfish that they posted on FML? This is what it's for..posting about bad things that have happened, some situations are more serious than others. My point is, you don't say something like that to someone who lost a loved one you insensitive prick.

u obviously weren't very close so why is it a big deal?

old people crap their pants sometimes. applejuice halfprice.

57, who said they weren't close? OP's obviously upset because she was close to her grandmother. & even if they weren't close, it's probably going to sting that she & her siblings were left out of something that all of her other grandchildren were involved in.

Well, I'm sorry for your loss OP. I'd find out who wrote the obituary and tell them what's up.

Her grandmother passed away and instead of grieving and remembering all the good times she shared with her grandma she's pissing and moaning about not being mentioned in an obituary? Sounds to me like OP needs to get her priorities in order.
michelleJ11 25
101, if all of OP's family, including her grandmothers dog, were included & OP & her siblings were the only ones that weren't, it probably isn't the best feeling. It isn't about 'getting her priorities in order', it's about the fact that what's happened isn't fair.

Maybe she didn't want people to know she was old enough to have grandchildren. Was she a GILF? An older lady on Facebook sounds like a cougar on the prowl. Who's with me on this one?
Alphreak 0
me, but I still think feel sorry for OP.

I don't know... A gilf is hard to come by these days.
