Could this "family" possibly be any meaner?? Update Pg.3

[Robinrs]

I suggest she get professional counseling. She's been through her own personal pain, the death of a friend has redirected her pain, it may soon point back at her.

She needs closure, and maybe tonight she got it. She'll survive.

C.Ann, I am very happy it turned out the way it did. The co-worker should be commended for what she did.

She will heal. She's strong, and she's got her husband and you, and all those co-workers that know the truth.

I have been following this from the beginning and it didn't come out to too bad an ending. Yes, it was tragic the young lady died but through you so many people are re-evaluating their own health issues related to weight. I have heard so many people say that it gave them comfort when their experience helped others.
The funeral didn't even turn out too bad either. I am so glad other recognized the depth of their bond.
Thanks for the updates!

She's already in counseling.. If you recall (well - only if you read some of my other threads - LOL) she was hospitalized not long ago for severe depression - has had to leave a job she loves - and now this.. The doctor and therapist are very concerned that it's too much to handle all at once, so we're all staying on top of the situation to the best of our ability..

C.Ann... glad that after all that has happened, that you DD was included, even if it wasn't meant to be done by the family. I truly believe that your DD's friend had something to do with that particular coworker being chosen to speak and bring to the service what she did. Your daughter will heal, and she has the good memories of her friendship. I know it's been hard on her, but she'll get through it. She should try not to let her friends family ruin all her memories. They're not worth it.

Do you know what's really ironic about it though? None of this was "planned" - my son-in-law's jaw about dropped to the floor and my DD just busted out crying uncontrollably.. But that's the whole point that had been lost on this "family" throughout this entire tragedy.. My DD, her DH and my granddaughter had become this young woman's family for the past 11 years and everyone knew it EXCEPT them because they never made the effort to find out what her life was all about here..

Well - there's no question as to whether or not they know now - that's for sure..

You are doing all you can, she's going to be ok. It may take some time, but she'll be alright.

What a tribute to your daughter and her friend. I am so glad your daughter got to say goodbye without being confronted by the 'family'.

I just got back from a prayer meet and your was the first thread I read!
God does indeed work in mysterious ways, doesn't he?
Seems your daughter was included in the funeral after all they tried to do to prevent it, planned or not. Wonderful she got to say goodbye in private. I hope this brings her some peace. Give her some time to heal, she seems strong like her Mom and I think will do fine. God Bless!

Godspeed ^i^

ok cAnn that service was almost sneaky enough to have been my doing God bless those co workers ands friends that saw through this family. I will continue praying for your dd to get through this and find closure, as for you remembering the room numbers,, rm 320 .. my grandad, 14 yrs ago. and i remember that the last thing he knew he said to me was boy you need to shave,, and from that day till he was gone, i was clean shaven,

i firmly believe that the tribute to the friendship may have been the freinds way of telling your dd that she knew she was there, especiallly since it was un planned( still sneaky ) i think she kows who stayed there till the end and will reward that in her own way

May God watcvh over you all

Oh, I'm so glad the co-workers were able to do an end-run around the family and honor your daughter and the young woman's friendship! Also glad the family didn't create anymore nastiness. I really hope, over time, your DD will be able to find her way through the pain to a sense of peace. I'll be pulling for her.

Continued prayers and best wishes, C.Ann. I'm pretty pleased with this news. I pray DD will not suffer any set-backs. Stay strong.
