From the stories I've heard, she was not an easy MIL. (And this is according to everyone in the family, not just my SIL.) However, I'd deal with whatever issues came up just so my husband could have his mom back for a while. We visit her grave several times a year, and I see how much he misses her then and always. It breaks my heart.
My ex's mom died when he was a child and it caused him a lot of grief. I always felt bad for him and his siblings. Apparently she was a great mom and they all felt a huge void in their lives when she died in her 40s. My mom died of alcohol related health issues.
I feel so bad for my kids they don't have a grandmother. My teenage daughter's 2 best friends are really close with their grandma's and I know my daughter feels jealous but does her best to not let it show. I was really close to both my grandmas growing up and it makes me sad my kids don't have that. So I agree with the post, I wish my kids had a grandma. Even one. They have my grandma but she is so old she is not active and barely lucid anymore.
