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

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.

Mother-in-law switched around can spell "Woman Hitler"...

Holy Lord. I dearly hope you refused. And if she ever expresses anger or confusion over your refusal, I hope you punch her square in the jaw. That's a nice way to console a family member over the loss of a child. I wonder how SHE would feel if her child died and you did the same thing to her. I'm sorry for your loss, OP.

Good lord I'm so sorry, OP. I can only imagine how hard it was before she had the nerve to ask, that's just disgusting. I know no words I say will be of comfort but I truly am sorry. Some people don't have a heart and it's sickening.
