My brother's GF is wacked
So I know I've poted on here about my lack of love for my brothrs GF. She's been super crazy/annoying with his deloyment. Well then my Grndmother started to die and the entire family is convinced this girl is a nut.
My brother is currently in AZ for training before he gets deployed. He got to fly home for less then 24 hrs to say a final farewell to my Gma. Well theere was all kinds of drama surrounding that with his GF thinking this brief visit as about him seeing her and not my gma. For 4 days surrounding her death this chick showed up at my Gma's!! The first day she called me and asked if she could stop by. The second day she sent me a text and told me she'd be by. On the third day she just showed up unannouced and tried to weasel into the room while the nurse was examining my gma!! 
I was about to FTFO on this chick!! My aunt intervened on my behalf and asked her to leave.
Tonight she comes to the viewing and places something in the caskett!!!!!! I go up to see and she bought gemstone dragonfly necklace and put it in with my Gma!! WTF chick?!?! Dragonflies have been my families thing since my grandfather died and I read the story about the waterbug turn dragonfly. I have a dragonfly tattoo that symoblizes my Gpa, nd my grandmother had dragoflys every where. This girl has no idea the meaning behind them and just thinks they are my Gma's favorite. My aunt was pissed!! She called me a little while ago and asked me to find out what the deal is and why she put it in the casket. So I called my brother in AZ and asked if he knew about it. He had no idea and seemed a little freaked out by it. I asked him if he was ok with us removing it from the casket bc my Gma only wnted to be buried with her wedding band. He said it was fine. I called my aunt back and as of right now we are just going to remove it and not say anything for the time being.
Sorry I am cutting this short. B is being impatient about going to bed. Ill continue this later.
Re: My brother's GF is wacked
that is weird.
Ditto Madame. While well-meaning, waay out of bounds. Seriously.
Think removal sans comment is probably the best thing. If she doesn't know better than to do something like that, than trying to explain it slowly is unlikely to help. And probably will just lead to a long, drama-filled convo. Never good.
More importantly, I haven't been around in a while, so wanted to also say that I'm sorry for your loss. Hope you can have some quiet time over the weekend to rest and remember happier times with your Grandmother.
Ditto Madame also.
Is it an option to see if your aunt will talk to her about this? Or is it pointless since today is the funeral and it will be over with before you read this post? She may try and hang out with you guys at your gma's house or something if she still lived independently.. Bottom line, seems like she needs to be made aware of this before she pisses more people off.
VA- Thank you. Other then being annoyed with my brothers GF last night went very well. I at peace with it knowing she is no longer suffering and with my Gpa. I am supposed to read the dragonfly poem today at the service. We will see how that goes.
As of now my aunt is going to have it removed when she has all the other jewelry removed. I leaving it up to my aunt to tell or not to tell her that she did remove it. She signed up yesterday that she will be attending the luncheon aftwards. We are having it at my Gma's favorite resturant. Right after that B and I are leaving for the beach. So after today there really isn't reason I should have to see the crazy GF for a long time!!
