Lady's experience at ex-hubby's mum's burial
Mandu said that for a long time, she told herself that she would not grace the occasion because of her past with her ex-husband, which left many scars and even involved her dragging him on social media.
When he saw her, Mandu noted that he was visibly shaken and feared she would cause trouble at the occasion.
Mandu felt the weight of her past pressing on her while standing with her ex-husband's family in their moment of grief.
In that moment also, she realised that grudges, anger and old battles mean nothing in the end, and life is too short to let anger win.
She said she left the burial with lessons rather than bitterness. Her post read:
"I finally attended my ex-husband’s mother’s burial. For a long time, I told myself I wouldn’t go. Too much had happened between us. Too many scars. I even dragged him on social media, and after that, he never imagined I would have the courage—or the heart—to show my face there.
"When he saw me, he was visibly shaken. I could almost read the fear in his eyes, the unspoken questions: “Why is she here? What will she do? Is she here to stir trouble?” But deep down, I knew this wasn’t about him, or about me.
"This was about his mother. A woman who had lived, loved, and now was gone. No matter what had happened between me and her son, I had to put my pride aside and pay my respects. At that moment, I realized that death has a way of humbling us all. It reminds us that grudges, anger, and old battles mean nothing in the end.
"Standing there among his family, I felt the weight of the past pressing on me—but I also felt something else: release. I chose to sympathize with them, to stand with them in their pain, even if it wasn’t expected of me. Forgiveness is not always for the other person; sometimes, it’s for your own peace of mind.
"Walking away from that burial, I carried no bitterness, only lessons. Life is too short to let anger win. In the end, love, compassion, and respect will always speak louder than resentment."
