Should I have been told?
I've not been very close to my father's side of the family for quite sometime now. This January my father died and although I was notified by my step mother of his death and invited to his viewing she never notified me (nor did any of my other family members) of the date of his burial this spring. I was very depressed over the whole deal.
I did make contact with my aunts at the viewing and had asked about my uncles (whom my aunts both divorced over the years) who I was close with growing up and both griped about them (as old hens will do about ex husbands).
I've taken to reading the online paper of the town I was from to try to keep in the loop of whom in my family may have passed, who got married, etc...
Today, I read the obits and came across the obit of one of my uncles sisters. It stated in the obit that my uncle had predeceased her. He apparently died sometime this year after my father did. No one ever told me. I did a search and they apparently didn't publish an obit for him. Had I known, I would have attended his funeral. He was one of my favorite uncles regardless of the fact that he divorced my aunt (which I didn't know until my father's funeral)
Am I wrong to be upset? Should they have been obligated to at least give me a call and let me know?
I was close to my dad just not his family. Dads wife hated me (and my sister) and only wanted me to pay for his funeral. That was the ONLY reason she notified me of his viewing - so she could ask me for money. She kept all my childhood photos (even though my parents were married at the time) and she sold all my dads stuff after he died. My sister and I didn't get one thing. All we have are memories.

Yes, they absolutely should have told them. It was positively low-down of them to keep you out of the loop about something like that. Not calling you everyday to chitchat is one thing, but they should tell you if a family member is sick, dying or has died. And they should inform you of the burial, too. Just because you're not close to them doesn't mean that it's okay for them to just not tell you when things like that happen. You are still family and you deserve to know!

specifically circumstances particular specifically circumstances NO. being pregnant signs and indicators are the comparable as signs and indicators of a era coming so specifically circumstances that is totally frustrating to tell. the very suitable thank you to renowned is to attend till at last a era is overdue and do a hometest. i replaced into 7 weeks till now i found out with my daughter I on no account felt ill pregnant sore boobs ANY signs and indicators of being pregnant yet, a + try. With this being pregnant till now my era replaced into due i felt warm, irriated, crampy, sore boobs, each and everything smelled detrimental. All being pregnant are differnt regardless of if a women is having no signs and indicators and a era is overdue that is appropriate to aim.
