what would your grandma have wanted? for you to continue to enjoy your vacation or go home and mourn her?';

'I'd make a trip return home tbqh, but I love my family so that advice is sure to cause seethe here.';

'your mom is a drama queen for telling you during your vacation';

'>>2646892
You aren’t supposed to enjoy anything now. And the fact that you have to ask 4chan how to react to your grandmother’s death tells us more than we need to know about you.';

'>>2646917
Maybe op's family is...normal? Not every family is cold and unsympathetic towards each other.';

'>>2646894
I'm not OP, but one of my grandmothers would actually want the latter. She's self-centered like that.';

'>>2646941
You don't even like your immediate family, so this doesn't really mean much coming from you. Your mom is the reason you hate women, and you've said your dad is a faggot and may not even be your actual biological father.';

'>>2646892
>no fucking clue why she thought I needed to know right now
have you stopped thinking about yourself long enough to consider that maybe your mother wanted your comfort and couldn't because you're away, so she called you?';

'>>2646969
>tfw selfish and socially retarded OP dies and nobody goes to the funeral or even pays for it so the county puts him in a paupers grave.';

'>>2646967
Damn….youve been here awhile';

'good grief there are some obnoxious cunts on this site today';

'>>2646892
Depends on if you believe in life after death or not.';

Why would I care who goes to my funeral? I'll be dead';

'>>2646892
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

I get that people process and mourn over losing a loved one differently, but I'm a little confused by your reaction to all of it. You clearly care about your grandma's passing meaning you had a good relationship with her, so it would only make sense for people to contact you when she passed? I mean, imagine if the opposite happened where you come back from your trip and someone goes "oh btw, grandma died while you were away". Personally I'd be rather pissed if people didn't bother to contact me with important news like that. Anyway, as for the why they felt the need to tell while you're on your trip, perhaps because they felt you may want to return for the funeral (if there will be one)?';

'what, did she explode or something? this had to have been coming down the pipe right? old people usually don't just check out, you can tell';

'>>2647177
Old people can get sick really fast. If they catch a cold, it can easily cascade into a bunch of shit.';

'>was in japan days before covid panic
>relaxing in an amazing ryokan, enjoying the onsen in the sanjiro mountains
>life couldn't be better
>random phone call at 2am
>"Hello, this is American airlines. Just letting you know flights are cancled"
>ok, what flight dis you put me on back to the states? (Trip ends in 3 days)
>"...all flights are cancled"
>there is no way they cancled every flight in the world for an amaerocan citizen
>"....we are sorry sir. Flights are cancled. All of them." Literally just hangs up on me
All the while my connection is shit in the mountains and my bank is closed state side so they blocked my transactions trying to get other tickets. Ended up calling embassy in Tokyo who said American airlines is a fucking liar and set me up with airlines that are operating. Silver lining was American airlines refunded me the whole trip and not just the flight back. But boy, did that absolutely start a panic after being in a state of zen for the day.';

there's no reason why the info couldn't have waited';

'>>2646892
I'm sorry, friend. It sucks that life is so crazy and when you finally have a vacation someone delivers bullshit news like this.';

Yeah, but OP's family, or at least his mom, is.';

'>>2646892
Maybe your mom needed your support?

My grandfather died unexpectedly while i was in London, meeting my fiance's family. My un cle called me, said that the family did nto want to make me come home, but he reminded me that my grandfather had been an associate pastor in a church in London as part of some exchange program. My fiance and I went to that church and sat together at the same time my grandfather's service was being held back home, and that was a nice thing to have done. If nobody had told me, I'd not have been able to do it.';

'Who cries about old people dying?
They're old. That's what they do.
At least she lived a full life and died old. We can only hope to achieve the same.';

'SHIT, my STUPID MOM had to tell me that her own mother died, what a DUMB BITCH, now I'm not gonna have FUN tomorrow.

You sound like an infant. Idk what your family is like, but at the minimum you're supposed to comfort your mother, maybe offer to return early... if she says "no it's ok, keep travelling" then at least stay in contact and offer moral support. Maybe take a day off from your travels to mourn... visit a church and say a prayer for g-ma. Fuck man, this thread was embarrassing to read.';

the absolute state of wagecucks';

'>>2646892
Honestly this is one of my biggest fears of traveling: having a loved one die while you are abroad and having to cancel your fun to go to a shitty funeral. And yes, I said funerals suck and I hate them. If I died, I wouldn't want people canceling their plans to come mourn me. I'm dead. I want them to live their lives. Maybe it's because I'm American and taking work off for vacation is a big deal.';

'I'm sorry for your loss. Next time tho don't ask retards on 4chan for advice for something serious like this, try to return home sooner to support your family, do something to honour your grandmother in the meantime, go visit a church or temple or whatever';

'I had a long-time (years) girlfriend break up while me while I was in Asia. I still had a good trip, but it messed me up so much at the time I couldn't preform with a cute Chinese girl I ended up getting close to in the hostel. I still think back on that and get embarrassed; if it was today I would have beat the breaks off her. But instead I was just a cry baby bitch.';

take a picture of yourself making a peace sign doing duck face with a backwards cap on with the caption "R.I.P granny, you waz a real nigga" and then post it on your socials. the positive feed back you'll recieve will make your day better';

'You fucks make some of the comments you do and have the gall to wonder why this board has went to shit.

>>2646892
My condolences for such a loss. It's clear you have mixed emotions right now, but it sounds like you should probably head home if there isn't any urgent matter keeping you there. Other family members may need you around to help come to terms with the loss, and vice versa. It sucks to be alone in times like that. May she find peace in God's arms. Stay strong, my guy.';

'>>2646892
My grandpa died when I was in Turkey in 2020 you just have to realize life is short make the most of it go for a hike and reflect your time with them';

'>>2646892
go outside and look at the beautiful city or nature you're in, and be grateful that your grandma lived a long life and was able to see it all for so long, and that you're alive now to appreciate it, and be thankful that you're traveling now instead of being at home.';

'>>2646892
Cool story bro';

'>>2646969
Literally this, I'm turbo autistic and it was really hard for me to comfort my mom when that happened. I still regret not doing it, so OP don't be a faggot and take care of your mom, it's not about you, it's about her, I bet you would feel like shit if she passed away and you had no one to comfort you';
