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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML

Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
Today, at work, I served a customer who looked so much like my grandma that I thought it actually was her. Then I remembered she died 6 months ago. I had to serve customers with a smile on my face while choking back tears for the rest of the day. FML

I have long been of the opinion that there are some people who just hit the 'you deserved it' button at every single FML they read. Anyway, that must have been very sad for you.

How does op deserve this? I'm sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine having to do that. I couldn't break someone's heart once much less a second time

In some ways her memory loss could be a blessing in disguise. No parent should have to bury their child and the fact that she can't remember that her daughter has died might make it easier on her. I love my daughter more than anything and that's something I'd be glad not to have the memory of.

That would be awful. I'm sorry, OP.

Ouch, that's rough. I hope she doesn't keep asking you, and I'm sorry for your loss.
