Grandma Dying... Getting Money
Grandma Dying... Getting Money
I recieved a wierd check in the mail yesterday ( didnt open it till today) to my surprise it was a check from a fund for 1,000 dollars. 
It says its from a grandma on my dads side. I havent seen this grnadma in over 3 years and prolly have seen her a total of 6 times in about 21 years. frantically thinking someone died I called my father who lives in Kentucky, he said she had a stroke and that most of the family is gettting 11,000 dollars over 12 months from the sale of her house.
would you be excited or depressed? I ask this because I kinda am confused about how or what I should be feeling

You should be sad for the loss of a relative and sad for those who were close to her who are feeling more pain than you. Her wishes are being filled so I wouldn't feel bad about getting money.
ya know, there really isnt a way that YOU should "feel", that kinda stuff is person to person. Obviously you didnt know her that well, so you arent feeling terrible, but that doesnt mean you should feel bad about not feeling bad. I would just give some support to other family members who were closer, that can't hurt.
As for the money....well she wanted you to have it, and unless its specified in her will what the money is to be used for, I'd say just try and save it. Make some investments, pay off some bills, whatever. One good suggestion would be to put some money towards the principle of your car rather then just throwing all of it at mods. Get some mods if you really, really want to, but when your monthly payment is a lot lower, mods come quicker in the future
My condolences to you and your family

Hey pal, i'll tell you what i think about it. Keep in mind i'm a PSY and PHIL double major.
Family does mess a lot of things up. There can be complicated situations in familial relations, yet i fail to realize that they are of my blood. And this probably is the most important aspect. If you are going to spend your late grandmothers mother, at least spend it in a way that she would approve. But in a twisted sorts of way, you can use the cash on car insurance and then free money up for parts!

Whatever you feel is what you feel. Put it this way. I can be pretty snappy to my mother. I dont mean it at all as we have a real good relationship, but sometimes i just do it by habit. As i got older and this episode happens, i begin to feel bad. I have a weird makeup of feelings. I'll tear on movies that hit a specific nature (love, hurt, etc) but when family dies, i am not affected by it. What hit home was when my mother thought she was going to die and hearing your mother scream out in helplessness, was awful and i cried.
Point is everyone is different.

why are you asking how you should feel? are you going to force yourself to be sad if someone on here says you should be? you just are what you are, and by the sound of it, you are confused.
yah I feel bad because they sold her house for this money and It looks like she''ll go anytime, she wants everyone to buy whatever they like and use it to be happy .
DahakaJR , thats what I wanted to know but since I wasnt close to her at all I guess they were planning on me just getting the checks and not wondering whats going on. When I called he was like "oh , I see you started getting thew checks" I was like WTF is this all about
but as far as her dying its almost as if my friends grandmother is dying because I am sad about loss of life but not devastated like I would be If my mom was going down.
WHen mommy goes I am in deep **** .

Hey man, sorry for the loss......i think i know where ur coming from.....u weren't real close with her, but she is still a blood relative, so any family member passing away is tough. I would have to agree that i would have a catastrophic breakdown if either my mom or dad died......but its best not to think about that. Oh well, again im sorry for the loss......
i think i would be a bit depressed that i DIDNT really know her...i mean, she sounds like an awesome lady...selling her house so all the members of her family can be happy with the money...i would try to go see her before she passes if I were you
