Spockydog Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Is sitting at a graveside, talking to a departed loved one, something we only see in movies? Because that seems like perfectly normal behaviour to me, and not something that should be ridiculed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm in the minority though I have to say considering most everyone on here is an atheist, approving coos about Harry talking to his dead mother is, not what I expected. Meghan trying to talk to her boyfriend's dead mother is even weirder, and if not a red flag it is at least the sign of a major drama queen. The same as throwing herself on the floor and sobbing over her wedding prep. To my knowledge I don't know anyone who even knows anyone who has gone to the floor in hysterical tears.

Heartofice Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’d say it’s pretty consistent with rest of her emotionally manipulative behaviour and positioning herself as a victim / his dead mother in his mind. But at the same time, crazy behaviour like that is also consistent with Hollywood types.. so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know the details other than what you told me, but simply asking for "clarity and guidance" at a gravesite is definitely not akin to "trying to talk" to the dead. It's a fairly common expression of grief and respect. As far as "drama queen" goes, you seem to depicting this as something like a cosa nostra mother/wife throwing themselves on the grave and making a big spectacle, but, again, that's not what it sounds like from your own description.

I'd be pretty surprised at a lot of approving coos, but I don't think that's what's happening here. It seems to me like people have acknowledged he's unwell but it seems like a harmless way to grieve her. It seems utterly undeserving of the venom you have leveled at him for it. You are the person who has shown the most emotional investment in his graveside practices. I wouldn't have even known about that except for you bringing it up to ridicule him.

Madame deVenoge Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Update on book progress: Harry has not yet met MM, so I can’t opine, there. Yet. He does love his military experience (I think he would have been very happy as a career officer). Also, he HATES Camilla. If anyone comes off as evil/manipulative/scheming in Harry’s eyes, it is definitely Camilla. The book is well-written enough to where one absolutely can imagine easily in order to put oneself in Harry’s shoes. For the haters out there: I recommend you try this. ETA - it is very obvious that his mother’s death was pretty much the single defining moment of Harry’s life. Everything from how he relates to his family of origin and his views on women in general goes back to Diana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that seems like perfectly normal behaviour to me, and not something that should be ridiculed. The family plot beside that of my parents started over 30 years ago, with their 11-year old son, who died of sickle cell anemia. His father would come regularly and talk to the boy, and he’d bring a baseball and toss it around, playing catch with his dead son. God rest his soul, he died this summer. Other people around us come to chat with their late husbands and wives, children with their parents, other parents to their children. One couple, regularly visiting their deceased spouses, actually married each other. Kneeling down before the grave of your beloved’s mother and asking for guidance sounds like a woman reaching out to show she understands a deep hurt in his heart. I don’t fault her at all. I don’t think it’s “deeply manipulative” and “a red flag”. Is being in tune with the person you love something you’d describe that way? What kind of relationships do you people have? Do you think your SO is manipulative? Is that the real reason for all this disdain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Why is it people tend to believe Meghan when she has been so demonstrably found to be lying on so many occasions? Is this a Trump thing where lying is fine if they are on your side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a monster… Guess that person hasn't been around very many brides ... much less a bride who has global paps, press, and CS's ilks after her. The behavior of my brother's first wife over her wedding involved floods of tears and tantrums -- in a little nowhere town of ND. I admit to going to the grave stone of my dead baby sister, leaving a pack of ciggies (she smoked, I didn't) and flowers, with her best friend, and both of us talked to her. Her best friend still does this several times a year, as she lives where my sister died. I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The lies we have seen in bold face haven't come from her, have they (hey, whatabout that george santos)? So I don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Also, I don’t think all the people who show up at the cemetery and talk to their loved ones are religious or believe in God. I think they have grief in their hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
