Do not have a clue at the moment.

Your in-laws could be really upset about loosing their daughter. Did they really mean what they said to you? Maybe your going there is hard for them to deal with. We're they welcoming to you when you went there as a couple? 

Do you have parents? Or your own family to socialise with while you are grieving.

Could be ? They are really upset, what do you mean in regards to what they said?

I have great relationship with my in laws, so yes they were very welcoming to us. I have parents, so are you suggesting not going to see them or stay in contact?

Just wondering - could your presence there be the reason they want to break ties. Do you remind them of their daughter. 

Sometimes people say things they don't mean. They might be too sad to realise what they said or they could have meant don't feel obliged. 

My husband has a different relationship with my parents - always complaining. So sorry if I am not completely able to relate to your situation.

I think you have read my original post wrong, its people in my family not theirs, who suggested to break ties.

Thanks for the clarification, you said certain people so wasn't sure. 

Do whatever is comfortable for you. You are the one who is suffering the loss. You know best what heals you. 

It's easy for others to just talk. Maybe ask them why they think you should drop ties. If they give you a valid answer then make your own decision. Hope that helps.

That is some messed up Hindu <banned word filter activated> superstition., your relatives pulled they should be ashamed of themselves .

They’re no longer my relatives. I won’t go into detail but my phurphurh had a life changing event which led to his death. His family blamed my bhua for everything. They were not nice people.

That’s okay. In some ways. By staying connected to them, you may feel connected to your wife. On the other hand, it may hold you back from “moving on”. Everyone responds to death differently. I hope you’ve had support and counselling to aid you through a difficult time.

I want to say i find this hard to believe but I've seen this kind first hand and it's absolutely disgusting. cutting off ties with your grand kids because your son has passed on shows what people's mentality is

I completely agree. They were not pleasant to deal with. When it came to the funeral, they wouldn’t tell my bhua where his body was nor where his ashes were cremated.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
