‘We were walked on’: Extended family insists on visiting a woman and her mother for Christmas, who are grieving the loss of their stepdad and husband, then demands a perfect Christmas from them

The holiday season should be a joyous time of year for all, but the timing isn't always right in people's lives, and catastrophic life events can occur when they least expect them. If you or anyone you know has lost a loved one, holidays are hard. You feel the void like a hole in your chest and a gash in your heart, but at least you have family to share in your grief—most of the time.

The extended family didn't listen and proceeded to take over their home by way of unwelcome dogs, critique of meals, and overall judgment of the coldest kind.

Holidays should be warm. However, losing a loved one freezes that warmth for a while—grief isn't linear. This extended family revealed their true colors. Scroll to read.
