As an indigenous person that practice traditional spirituality, it is NEVER ok to approach grieving people like that. It’s a common rule for everyone and anyone to not bring up people’s trauma EVER unless the person with the trauma brings it up first. So uncouth and worse, that woman made it about themselves, not the grieving family, not how upsetting it made the whole party especially the kids. If this person does have “abilities” it’s still bad medicine.

[@lorrenraven]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@christianboi7690]

I haven’t gotten to that story yet, so I’m not commenting on it, but I gotta disagree with your views on trauma. You should never ignore things like that. That stuff builds up and makes everything worse. You need to deal with it immediately. I’m not saying to try to fix everything quickly, but to start addressing and trying to deal with it quickly. I’ve heard so many people talk about how they held onto traumatic events and kept them or their feelings about them hidden for ages. Stuff like that can eat your whole life and fill you with false shame and guilt. Yes, it hurts to be confronted, but it’s the difference between being pushed to a healthier place or finding comfort in pain and isolation. Trauma is something you can work through and overcome and telling yourself it can’t be helped just gives people an excuse to ignore the pain and isolation of others. Okay, so I just got through Story 5. I guess first of all that was more recent trauma. It was an active thing that the whole family was feeling and was weighing on them. They were all in the middle of the grieving process and were probably reminiscing about it plenty, so I don’t think it was a buried topic, and it was probably fine to bring it up and discuss it in the moment, but to jump in with your weird foreign procedures and try to inject yourself into their grieving process without even vetting them beforehand feels way out of line and borderline narcissistic.

[@layladavis02]

I personally feel someone shouldn’t go to someone spiritual when grieving at all. Only say this because when my grandpa passed away. He was my absolute best friend and he’s the only person I couldn’t get over passing away. Some person told me he somehow was a cat and some other things (Long story) m. but it just made me constantly desired more and more of a way to connect with him. But he’s gone and I feel you need to accept that. It felt like loosing him over and over again when I felt I couldn’t have some sort of connection to him. To me best way I can explain it is. It’s like a breakup. If you break up with someone but still keep trying to find reasons to text them again and again. You’re never going to be able to move on. You need to morn the relationship. You can know that they’re okay and you’re okay. But trying to force a connection that is gone just brings more pain. Plus I feel he can’t move on if I’m constantly crying for him. Just feels selfish in a way.

[@layladavis02]

⁠@@christianboi7690they were talking about not bring up talking to someone’s dead child. So i definitely feel you needed context lol. But also maybe I read their comment or your comment wrong. But I don’t feel you should push someone into doing something when they are dealing with trauma. I got ptsd, literally for trauma in the name lol. But i personally hate when people ask me about it or try to tell me how to “fix” my feelings. I have a partner I’ve been with for a long time. We live together but I still haven’t told him what caused my ptsd. My last friend that knew made me feel guilty in a way for not dealing with it right away but I was a child. I definitely feel you should have an open arm and let people going through a lot to know you’re there for them. But don’t force it because I feel it made me hate myself for having something that felt connected to me. I’m open about my ptsd and how certain things bother me so I won’t do it. But I’ll never explain the trauma. That’s what therapy was for and she had to wait months for me to fully go into details lol.

[@C3p0pussiboi]

Nope sry, that btch who didn’t listen to her husband and got the extreme surgeries has to deal with those consequences. He tried everything he could to prevent this from happening and told her that by doing so, it’s a likely possibility. She didn’t listen and still did it ALL, which means if she did it for herself then fine, but she is NOT ALLOWED to be upset or hurt by his reaction. That’s actually absurd…

[@DeeMetria]

I think they're definitely having different experiences from it all, at least, due to how different their presence was prior to his passing. I think that she already did her grieving. Her husband was gone and he was never coming back. She saw that every single day and grieved that loss years before they got even got a start on it.

[@xxoldmagicxx]

That’s what I was thinking. They feel guilty and are misplacing that energy on their mom, which is NOT fair. She went through years of trauma and she deserves someone good and special for herself.

[@inuyashaismydensity]

As a spiritual person, that lady is incredibly dumb, insensitive and foolish. You DON'T tell somebody that, especially after a recent passing. You don't tell that to anybody unless they ask for it. Gods, I can't understand how people can just say stupid shit like that and think it's okay. When you're actually in this line of existence, with those abilities, you know how to walk through conversations like that. Respect the deceased, respect the living and understand that you're not the main character. Imo he (OP) doesn't need to apologize. She had no right and the brother is ridiculous for being upset when his girlfriend was mad disrespectful

[@lunar.mermaid]

Totally agree. It almost makes me wonder if she's faking, bc I feel like people with that ability usually knows how to approach people with more empathy. Maybe she was just excited or something, but maybe she just thinks she has some connection that's not really there.

[@SassyYazzy1212]

Thank god I found a comment like this. She may not be faking but convinced herself she can do more than she can at the moment and is in fact, playing the main character and has now idea how to handle a grieving family. The husband is explaining how vulnerable the wife is. What if she grabs this 'contact' with her deceased son so extremely (I am sorry, that's poorly translated but the best I can at the moment) that she will totally lose herself in this? This girls has probably no idea how to handle that based on how she handled this first conversation.

[@riahw3750]

My thoughts on the mom moving on story is that she mightve had those years to mourn while the dad was in his vegetative state because she was there constantly but the kids weren't. They either didn't have the time to go often which is fair or didn't want to see their father that way which is also fair. But they didn't have those years to mourn before he died so the mourning process was very fresh for them when their mother started dating again, I imagine that felt like a betrayal

[@karlagonzalvez4703]

So trueee. I lost my dad at a young age and I watched the devastation drown my mom and then about 3 years later she was with another man. I remember feeling that way.

[@ariannam3727]

Also moving on is an indication that she had a happy marriage with her deceased husband. Typically if you had a good relationship you move on faster. It sucks because it’s two different ways of grieving and both parties are valid

[@kristengilliam3137]

Yes! All of this. Plus, the mom sounds like she protected them while bearing the brunt of the work. “They have their own lives” and whatnot. I could see if she did the mom thing and shielded them from the hard stuff that they might view things differently. Like tunnel vision with her on a pedestal and the dating threw them off course. Hoping they come around.

[@jennifern.2740]

I agree & that makes me sympathize with the mom even more. She was alone in her suffering, and her fully grown kids barely had to deal with it. She deserves to be happy, their feelings are valid but damn, after all this time its crazy they don’t want their mom to have peace & happiness

[@Slapchop721]

They are dealing with their own grief but ignoring the mental toll it took on their mom for years. My dad worked in the ER and every holiday they would get a ton of people bringing in parents who "looked sick" because they only saw them 1-2x per year and the reality was their parents were just older and actually aging and they couldn't accept it.

They didn't know how to respond and they probably couldn't get mad because they feared losing their jobs.

[@nancyanderson7335]

Uncomfortable laughter is definitely a thing. Especially in customer service where managers will berate you for standing up for yourself against disrespectful and disgusting customers.

[@karlagonzalvez4703]

They could've laughed and pretended to like it simply cuz they need the tip. So many male customers will retaliate from getting their ego hurt. If you don't laugh or give your number to them, no tip. Been there.

(He did say he didn’t have a say in her going through with it.) He tried everything before telling her he didn’t find her attractive.

As someone who works with patients with profound brain injuries, including vegetative state, I would say NTA. One of the toughest parts about brain injuries is that you have to grieve twice- once when you lose the person they were but they are still alive and then again when they actually pass. I have seen many different ways of coping with brain injuries and it sounds like OP dealt with her grief long before he passed. The only thing I would say is that she does sound a bit cold toward her children and that they probably don’t understand the process OP went through with her grief. Some good, calm communication is needed in this situation, probably some help with a mediator/therapist to keep things in prospective for both sides.

[@clarabentz242]

She feels really cold! Very much “I’m starting a new life with this guy” rather than “I’m bringing a new guy into the family.” I totally see why there is friction with this family.

[@julest9182]

I get why she’s upset tho, bc she was the only person in the family taking care of him. She took her time to mourn him and grieve his memory. She doesn’t love him any less. I wish the grown kids wouldn’t be so harsh on her. The dad would probably want her to be happy anyways. It sucks when the mom probably finally felt happy and got to do what she wanted for once in years and then the kids couldn’t be happy for her. I get that they feel like this rando could never be their dad, but he’s not trying to be. I doubt this new guy would ever try to replace the dad’s memory.

The hurt is so real when you lose a parent, and I definitely felt betrayed by my mom for moving on too "quickly". I definitely didn't like my step dad for awhile. Until I got older and matured and realized that my mom is still young and should be able to happily move on with her life. We've had many deep conversations about that time in both of our lives and not only how my dad's death impacted me and my brothers, but my mom as well. Everything she went through during the time before, during, and after I never knew until I was older and we had those in-depth conversations. Communication is key.

For the yoga story: it seems like the wives that laughed it off are dealing with some internalized misogyny.. yeah, maybe they just have that dynamic with their partners and they know it’s happening and they’re fine with it, but it seems more to me like they didn’t know it was happening and then just laughed it off when they found out. It’s giving “boys will be boys” but that situation is NOT OKAY. Even if they were consenting in that behavior, the third wife clearly wasn’t

I’m sorry for your loss, it’s beautiful that you wish your dad happiness. OP’s fully grown kids are being selfish, especially because it sounds like OP dealt with the hardships on her own

[@angiegoebel4837]

Sorry for your loss. I'm glad you are understanding. My grandpa remarried a year after grandma passed, but it was to his high school best friends widow they had raised all their kids together even. Plus, grandpa was getting to the point that he couldn't get along completely by himself anymore, and she had basically taking care of him since grandma's funeral. Most of the family understood them marrying, especially since they came from a generation that simply didn't live together until they were married. Anyway, my aunt is a spoiled brat, she was in tears at one point. My mom told her to go outside and that she better not let grandpa see her crying. My aunt was in her early 60's at the time. Sorry for the long post just really related to this.

Story 3: There’s definitely more to the story. On the surface, OP is definitely NTA. But I just feel like there’s some missing context, somewhere in the backstory about her marriage before her husband got sick. Otherwise the kids are just kinda bratty and immature for their ages, even if they are grieving the loss of their dad.

By the way the mom was saying they were not around alot while the dad was sick makes me wonder if they feel guilty.

Completely agree, I think there is some context behind the mother’s relationship that she is leaving out. I believe that if children dislike their parent’s bf/gf, there is a valid and bigger reason why. They’re adult children too, so I think there is more to the story than them just grieving their loss or the “plane rant”.

I lost my fiance of over 5 years at the age of 22... I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life. Then I met someone so amazing about 10 months later and now we're engaged and getting married in May. I was so worried about what others would think, but it really doesn't matter what others think. Sometimes you need to do what makes you happy and what's good for you. I couldn't be happier. Though it's stressful, I feel so grateful for the life I have and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without having gone through what I have. Not to mention my now fiance had been so understanding and supportive of my healing journey and I honestly feel like I don't deserve such an amazing, understanding, loving person.

Personally my problem with this story isn’t that Op is moving on. What bothers me is that while talking a a lot about her grieving process, she seems to have very little sympathy towards her kids’ grieving process. Just because she was already done mourning by the time her husband was dead, doesn’t mean the kids feel the same way

[@lunar.mermaid]

@@kokopuffs7618 that's true. Though we can't know for sure, it seems like maybe she could have expressed what she went through with them. And then, they as adults, even if they're still grieving should be able to honor their mother's happiness in her new relationship.

Gaining 20 pounds & having several plastic surgeries are two very different things. I could understand concern & losing attraction if suddenly your partner gained 50-100 pounds for no medical or mental reason & didn’t want to do anything about it, but 20… half of that could be water weight or a big meal (exaggerating but .. bffr). I personally would not care if my partner gained 50+ pounds, except that I know they wouldn’t feel their best & it would definitely be a sign of depression or some health issue because that would be a drastic change. I would also recommend really investigating why a small weight gain is affecting your feelings so much. Is it really you or is it what society has taught you. Or do you just want to shame and control your partner because you see their attractiveness as a trophy for you to show off. 🙄 I do agree you can’t help your attraction or s3xual desire, but if you’re no longer attracted to your partner or spouse over 20 pounds, get help. Anyways, the point is, several surgeries to change your whole face is not the same as gaining 20 pounds. So yeah one can be not the asshole & the other kind of is unless there’s really specific circumstances.

For story 3: I would like to mention both parties are absolutely valid. Grieving is not necessarily rational. The adults can still be upset especially since in their heads that’s a position that cannot be filled and it can feel like betrayal. The mom also is valid because what she went through was completely different. Everyone grieves differently. I think both are the AH. They both need to grieve and possible go to therapy. They are not seeing each other’s pain.

Lauren always has the best perspectives of anyone. In story 2 she was the only one to point out that if that was their dynamic it’s FINE. The only wrong thing is including someone else who isn’t comfortable with it. Prior to her pointing that out you guys couldn’t see outside yourselves and your own opinions. I literally only watch videos on this channel if Lauren is on lol she is such a great sounding board, I strive for that ✨

[@Me-wk3ix]

OP in story 1 mentioned having a daughter. I wonder how he would feel if a middle-aged man spoke to his daughter the way he spoke to that waitress.

[@sguerrerog]

Story 4. I don't think Lauren paid attention to the story lol (love her by the way). OP handled it great until he couldn't hide his feelings anymore . His feelings are justified by her surgeries, which he didn't want at first. Justin hit it on the nail. You can love someone so much but by getting all those surgeries, he was turned off by her new look. You can't force yourself to be turned on and continue with the same sex life if attraction isn't there. I don't think they should separate, but they definitely need to sit down and talk, whether it's alone or therapy. As woman we want our man to love us mentally and physically, so she is going to be insecure for a bit, but she made the surgery decisions by herself. It sucks they are in this situation but I hope all goes well for them.

In terms of loving your partner no matter what they look like: I feel like gaining weight, losing weight, cutting hair, etc. is all natural ways our body can change.

I thought the same thing and was expecting one of them to say it. Something about the fact that all 3 of her kids just hate him that much feels off.

[@denknees__]

Story 3: My grandfather suffered a series of strokes and eventually one almost took him out, he survived but half of his body became paralyzed (the right) this obviously changed everyone's lives. My grandma's especially, she became his caretaker from carrying him out of bed to the wheelchair, changing his diapers, feeding him, showering him, and even teaching him how to speak again. She was obviously getting old with him and she struggled (they lived in Mexico while my parents and I in the U.S weren't able to help out) she had help from family there but at the end of the day it was her who really had to take the heavy load of caring for him. After 13+ years in late 2020 he passed away it obviously hurt all the family and I miss him to this day, even if he couldn't really talk he knew how to ask for a coca cola :'). But no one would ever blame my grandmother for finding love again, we all know how much of herself she gave up caring for him so I can't even understand the "kids" in story 3 even being in the same country and not making the effort to visit or try to help out someone who very much could be gone the next day...

Story 3 I can relate to in a way. My grandma spent several years on her own after my grandpa passed away. She eventually reconnected with a man they had been couple friends with for decades, who had also lost his wife years prior. Their kids had all spent some portion of their childhoods together. Dispite the fact that every "child" was at least in their 30's, and the deceased parents had been gone for 5+ years at that point, almost all of them had an issue with the relationship. They acted like some kind of affair was going on, or someone must be in it for the money (they were BOTH well off). I look back on it now that I'm an adult and I think it's all due to not processing the grief of losing your parent. They were happy together and that should have been enough, but there was always tension. I feel for the adult children losing their dad. I don't think they will be able to look at any relationship their mom is in objectively until they process that grief, but she also doesn't need to wait for that to happen to move forward with her life.

Story 3 is very off to me. I feel there’s a lot op isn’t saying. “The worst thing he’s done is go on a rant about planes” yes the worst thing he’s done IN FRONT OF YOU. You have no idea if he’s made comments in passing to them about you or their father, you don’t know if he’s contacted them separately, and because the phrase “they hate him for no reason” was used that’s tells me there is 100% a reason but she doesn’t view it as a valid one. She has every right to be happy but her children also have the right to not go to the wedding. Your child shouldn’t have to make themselves uncomfortable to prove they love you. If they aren’t comfortable watching their mom walk down the aisle to someone who isn’t their father, they have the right to not go. She has the right to be happy just like they have the right to remove themselves from any uncomfortable situations

[@clarabentz242]

Yes! I feel 100% that’s somethings left out and I’d love to hear from the kids! Also, she has this vibe of “Let me start a new life!” verses “Let me bring this guy into the family.” I know her kids are adults but they’re still her kids, the fact that she’s a willing to basically end her relationship with them over a guy she’s known 2 years is so weird to me!

I don't agree. The children are all in their 30's, there probably wasn't even much time Tim spent with them without the mum. I think she just started the grieving process years ago and was ready to move on. The kids weren't there often, they probably only started their grieving process after the actual death, so for them it might have felt too fast for the mum to move on. But if she explained it like she did on reddit, they should understand... 30+ year olds accusing their mother of "replacing" their dad sound extremely childish. I hope they learn to see further than their own grief and to be happy for their mum. That poor woman shouldn't have to stay alone and on her own while her kids are living their own lifes...

[@analils]

Story 5, I also am one of those people who has “gifts” I can sometimes catch vibes of passed loved ones and I get messages to pass on. I would say to never do it while it’s fresh, and never just jump into a reading without checking if it’s okay, it’s very personal and heart wrenching. Also around the kids?? Not okay. Like Morgan said, it’s more appropriate to say, “hey, just so you know I have done work in the past where I help people connect to their passed on loved ones, if you’re open to it sometime please let me know and I would love to come over and see what we can do.” No pushing, no going right into it, leave the ball in their court. These things are so personal and I often treat it like a form of therapy, where it’s in a more private intimate setting and where someone can feel okay to cry or feel a lot of emotions for a while, it’s being up a lot of feelings. Also it’s between you and your reader/ energy worker. It’s not a whole family affair, it’s not done in a public setting, it’s not done to impress the people around you and it’s not done for financial gain, especially for family. If someone were to ask me to do it for them and I don’t know them well compensating me can be arranged but it’s such a touchy and personal thing, and if you’re the one offering you’re probably not supposed to do it with a monetary ask. I know that wasn’t brought up but just in case anyone was wondering for themselves. People in your instagram DMs saying they have messages for you and wanting payment are usually scammers, most people who have actual psychic gifts may advertise but are not cold calling people to get money and work. Again, approach lightly, and wait until it’s not a big moment in their lives, funerals and birthdays are out of the question. Having an intimate coffee or tea together or having a chat about the loss itself would be a time to say “this is something I can try to do if you’re interested, if you’d like I can tell you the gist of some of my past readings and I can do my best to try to help you with your grieving through this.” It’s a very lightly treaded subject, the girl in this story with gifts is obviously young, new to this, or looking for attention in the wrong way, not to say she doesn’t have a gift but she doesn’t have social tact.

It's a shitty situation all around but they're all adults, ultimately all entitled to their feelings about the situation. NAH for me but I do hope the kids get to the point where they can be civil or make adjustments to their proximity to it all if they cannot.

I had a plastic surgery procedure a little over a year ago and I have no regrets - but I wanted it and thought about it for over a DECADE. And I considered all the negative possibilities and came to terms with the fact that they were possible outcomes before getting the surgery.

I'm not giving any extra service if a man is hitting on me and making me uncomfortable in a situation where i cannot leave.
