Happyexjw,
I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers. I did not experience ill treatment by JWs when my mother died 12 years ago. As a strong and independent female they just did not try me. I did have some sisters that tried to take over my own house and tell ME what to do. For the most part, they were helpful. That may not happen today, because I don't attend meetings anymore. The JWs that I've come in contact with have been self righteous, judgemental hyprocrates. You will experience grief for awhile and it has not been easy for me after all these years. Don't let them intimidate you. They can't have control over you unless you give it to them. My mother died as a faithfull witness and pioneer. She never made judgments with her children. She never shunned us and let us make our own way in life. You have to remember that being in the Borg is all that most of them know. They are not the most "intelligent" people. If it was me, I would tell your aunt and uncle to kiss my a____ while I take a s____.
