It's been some time since she passed, and yet it feels like her friends, her family, everyone has just abandoned her. No one wants to think to themselves, that she is dead. Instead it's like everyone is too busy being occupied and distracted by stupid games to understand that she died. The only person still fighting to stop her own parents insulting her seems to be me. I always knew my wife and i were a team, but still, it feels like the entire world has ganged up against her.

Even her supposed best friend has decided to completely ignore me, and pretend i dont exist. How does that honor her, when the going gets rough, just sod off and ignore people? And yet, it feels frustrating to keep this entire family mechanic alive, only to find that there isn't a reason to. This entire house of cards that is my family and her famiy, implodes as soon as i remove even an ounce of effort from my side. It feels like I'm living through Atlas Shrugged

PS: I know, lots of dead wife posts coming from me, makes for some nice therapy to get it out there.

When my wife was alive, my ex-MIL would play a game with my wife's brother. They would gang up on her, and pretty much shame her for being the outlier, and that if she would just compromise a bit, they could all get along. This was just a way of dumping the family problems onto my wife, because no one in that family wanted to realize they were the ones being narcicistic assholes. And there are many cases where this happened, where her side of the family would immediately start telling her she had to be nicer, when her own brother assaulted her, or telling her she's too confrontational, when there was direct proof that the family was causing problems. Part of me feels she died from the stress related with having to deal with such covert vipers day in and day out

I doubt that was the sole cause but that family does seem toxic as hell. Should have made her cut off contact with them for her own sake.
