I got an email from XH at 8:30am this morning saying that his mother had passed away an hour earlier. The email was addressed to his sister, me, and BMF.
I think he must be feeling some guilt because the last time he spoke with her was one week ago friday before he went on vacay. Last night he said to me "She looked the same as always before I left (on vacay)". X-SIL will be booking her flight today.
I offered to drop some food by his place this morning (this is the way I was raised ----- people brought food to the homes of people who were mourning). He declined. Not sure if he just wants his space or if GF#2 is there.........It's weird. I am grieving too but I can't really join in the grieving process with others because I am the "X". I will need to ask XH's and X-SIL's permission to attend the funeral probably because GF#2 will no doubt be there. It makes this grieving process doubly hard.
