Aunt tells me to "get over it" 3 days after my mother passes away....

It's been 3 days since my Mom died; I had moved in with her a little over a year ago as her health was declining; she's been to the hospital many times since then, had some close calls, ups and downs like a roller coaster, it's not been fun for her, and had been in the hospital for a few weeks when it looked like she might be ready for rehab and maybe be out by Christmas so we could visit my brother and his family, when she took a sharp downturn, and this past Sunday she passed away.

My Aunt certainly has her cross to bear, as she is taking care of her younger brother who also has many health problems; she called me earlier this evening, asking how I'm doing (not well); she tells me I need to get over that, and proceeds to unload all her troubles on me.

Don't get me wrong, she's older than my late mother and has been going through a lot, and I can totally understand her needing someone to talk to, which I am happy to do, but man, just 3 days after my Mom's death telling me I should just "get over it", that's just IMO in very poor taste, and seems callous.

Sorry to unload like that.
