Need A Genuine Answer For This Simple Question Please

OP,
This happened with one of my very close friends a few months back. She too was in shock when she got the news on the phone about her MIL. They were not in talking terms from last 5 years, my friend felt the same way you felt. So know that it is normal. During that time, she just spoke with her sisters and some very close friends but never said a word about it to her husband/ Inlaws family.
Now when the topic comes, she just keeps quiet and shows support to him and her FIL. Strangely, the husband is back to normal life now, but she keeps remembering her MIL. I think when someone in our family touches our soul with their deeds/ karma, it leaves a much deeper impact. Trust that life will get back to normalcy for you as well.

hugs to you!!
