Dear Queenie,
About a week after my wife’s funeral her family called me and asked for some of her things, which I gave them. Since then I haven’t heard from them at all. I considered them part of my family and I miss them.
Queenie, why do people do like this?—Lonely widower
Dear Widower,
There could me many reasons for their behaviour. They may have forgotten, they may be busy, they may have assumed you preferred to mourn in private,
However, staying in touch with people works both ways. Have you made any effort to contact them? If not, they may just think you are not interested in hearing from them.
