Theres this girl whos my age and stuff. I'm 14/f. And my best friends grandmother just died today so she wasn't in school, and this girl actually told people she was glad her gram died. and I FLIPPED. One of her friends was like, you shouldn't flip out, it's not like it's your grandmother. & I'm like dude wtf I know, but she's my best friend, its not like I'm just going to let her say that. I'm doing the right thing, right? I'm not going to tell my best friend what happened because I don't want to get her upset. But, yeah. Thanks

1) Did her grandma suffer from cancer or stroke or was she lingering and suffering? In that case, your friend might have been happy that she was at peace.
2) Saying she was glad her gram died might be a coverup for how she was really feeling. She just might be one of those who would prefer to keep her pain and hurt to herself.
I remember when my grandmother died and I asked my sister how she felt. She said she wasn't going to cry anymore because she was already over it and she could get on with her life. I was totally shocked because it sounded so heartless, but we all deal with things differently. Personally, I felt like slapping her. I'm not condoning what your friend said, I'm just pointing out that there might be something deeper than just what she said.
If you feel you should ask her about it, by all means do so, BUT DO IT GENTLY. You might get a reaction you wouldn't expect -- be careful. Kudos for your concern. [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]
