Today, my mother-in-law asked for a copy of my son's death certificate so she could have her week-long island beach holiday classed as bereavement leave. FML
drbckflps tells us more.

I haven't read all the comments yet but thank you for your condolences. This is indeed the grandmother of my son and no, she didn't take the holiday as a way of grieving - it was purely opportunistic. She wasn't even polite to us at the funeral: her words to me were, "In six months when I get back you'll have forgotten this whole thing ever happened." Very disappointing. Thank you all again. I'll reply again when I get a chance to read some more comments.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Everyone can grieve differently, but that just seems a bit heartless and opportunistic. I'm sorry for your loss OP, I can't imagine how that feels.

And that's when you speak to your husband and tell him what his mother did and then inform the company she works with what she did, as long as you can enure the shitstorm. I am sorry for your loss :(

She actually asked him directly, not me, so he's aware of it. Thank you for your condolences.

That is just awful, I can't believe somebody would do that (actually sadly I can, but it's still awful). I'm so sorry for your loss.

I wonder why some people voted "YDI" on this. 0__o

Either to get badges or they accidentally hit YDI while scrolling on a phone.

I'm sorry for your loss OP. Ditch the bitch, if that's how she reacts to the death of her grandson, she doesn't deserve to be in yours, your husbands or your future children's lives
