He feels guilty over an argument they had because she wanted a birthday party she wanted to throw for one of her grandchildren. He, his wife, child and mother didn't want to go so they dropped off presents on the door stoop.

His MIL said that COVID didn't exist, it was overblown, etc. She said she wasn't going to "driven into fear" by people with "no faith in God". "God will sort it out" etc.

He's torn up about it but the best I could manage was that there are some people you can't save from themselves.

Gave him the rest of the week off.

"God's plan"

God over here like "I've given you the most brillant minds your species can muster and they say quarantining, distance, wearing masks, and vaccines are all a great idea.... but okay... I'll sort it out."

I think it's sad deniers now want to bring "god" and "faith" into this.

If you believe in a higher power -ok, fine- s/he also gave you a brain. Human brains figured out masks, social distancing and vaccines.

I always refer extreme "faithers" to the Parable of the Talents. Tl; dr - if you don't use the skills "god" gave you, they will be taken away.

If you want to talk shit about COVID and call it a hoax, at least stay 6 feet, wear a mask and social distance even while in your home so this won't happen.

RIP but c'mon man. Don't do that.

In a delicate way, that's what I tried to console him with. To me, I never knew the woman but he and his wife are pretty beat up about it.

It really is a play stupid games thing though.

IMO she was beyond dumb. She hosted a superspreader event with children (I'd guess 8 year olds). My concern is for my pal whose last memory of her is an apparently nasty argument. He's shook. I don't have a MIL but he apparently valued the relationship.

Its sad but its no different than someone riding a motorcycle without a helmet. If something happens its hard to feel sympathy. And unlike the motorcycle analogy, his person not taking Covid seriously could have hurt so many other people around her (forget about her family losing her now). Its just selfish.

My dad is super religious and in response to a story about a couple who let their kid die because they chose prayer over medicine, he said God gave us doctors for a reason. Use them...until I left religion thats how I approached life.

Why does he feel bad, he was proven right .

Well beyond the sadness of losing a family member.

Sucks for him and their family, but it's not their fault and they shouldn't blame themselves for not seeing her as likely would only have contributed to spreading it. She's the only one at fault here, but probably not the best thing to say to him right now.

Yeah, I gave him the remainder of the week and told him to text me if he needed more time. Long story short, you just can't save idiots from themselves. I'm trying to find a polite way to say this to him about his MIL.

The difference is once dead, they are not alive to defend themselves. Its called class.

No one is taking joy in it. There is a difference between being happy about it and not feeling sympathy. I know context is a difficult concept for some of you guys but just try and think a little harder. It wont hurt your brain, promise.
