"Devastated Suicide Survivors Face Cruelty from In-Laws: Ask Amy"

A grieving mother seeks advice on how to address her in-laws' cruel and insensitive behavior following the suicide of her son. Despite their lack of support and acknowledgment of the tragedy, the in-laws recently visited but only talked about their material possessions, failing to inquire about the mother's well-being or show any empathy. The columnist suggests writing a letter to express her feelings, even if it may not change their behavior, as a way to reclaim her experience of parenting. Seeking trauma and grief counseling is also recommended.
