Today, my mom asked me to help pick out clothes for my grandma to wear in her casket. I didn't know she'd died. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
The nice guy finishing last
Are you kidding me?
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Nice try
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML

Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

Come on, dude…
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, my mom asked me to pull out the load of laundry she'd stuck in the dryer. Instead of clothes, I pulled out my dead cat. FML

Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML

Newsflash from beyond the grave
Today, I found out my deceased grandmother never liked anything that I bought for her. She would never say anything to not hurt my feelings. The only reason I bought those things in the first place was because growing up she told me that she liked them. Now that she's gone, I'm hearing what she really thought. FML
What about granny

Sucks for grandma too
Today, my mom made the (not) very wise decision to once again inform me that my grandma is in rapidly declining health, and as a result she is not long for this world. My brain took this as an opportunity to push my anxiety into overdrive. I can't stop thinking about what will happen when my grandma dies. FML

Today, I called the florist and ordered a flower arrangement for my grandma, who I was told was sick. I said I didn't know what to get her, so just to send her something nice. I got a call from my mom calling me an inconsiderate bastard. They sent my grandma forget-me-nots. She has Alzheimer's. FML

She hasn't. Yet. Your mom REALLY wants that money of hers.

Sorry for your loss if in fact your grandmother has passed. If not, I hope you have time to spend with your Mom and Grandmother.

That's weird because my grandma chose clothes to wear before she died

Maybe your mom is just one of those people that likes to be prepared? :p

When my granma died, making phone calls was the last thing on her mind. Dont start more drama out of nothing OP, just pick the outfit because that makes you an even more special grandchild. may she R.I.P.

Maybe she is thinking ahead so she won't have to do it when the time comes. If she has passed away, remember its about your grandma, not your mom. Keep your focus where it should be.
