[QUOTE="keista, post: 432593, member: 11965"] I'm in the benefit of the doubt camp. It might sound like a lame excuse, but ppl get stooooopid when death is involved, and it almost always comes across as insensitivity. Not to mention, when we are grieving our own personal filters and thought process are thrown askew (lets think depression), so XYZ can come across as ZXY or something else entirely. Not to pour salt in any wounds, but If we spoke to her right now, she might be complaining that you said something rude, or out of line or what ever, but you KNOW 100% that you were gentle and kind - her filter is off. Sometimes the pain of a loss gets so great that it's easier to "replace" it with anger towards someone 'available' I wouldn't cut off completely, but get some distance for sure, and then revisit it. Who knows, she may come to you with an olive branch before you are ready. [/QUOTE]
