On 9/11/13 (Wed), my MIL died. Her visitation was scheduled for 9/14 (Sat) and the funeral was scheduled for 9/15 (Sun). It is of note that my H and his sister were horribly abused/neglected by my MIL. At my session 9/12 (Thu), T and I discussed the death, the implications of my H being administrator of the estate, and her surprise that my H and his sister were even carrying out her wishes for the funeral. This was 45 min of the 60 min session. I then asked T about her daughter's wedding plans (she was getting married 9/21). T went on about that for 10 min or so. Then she looked at me and said:

"I really hope you have a good weekend. Yours will have to be better than mine. I have to cut out hundreds of little tiny squares of burlap and glue them on to *something*."

I looked at her like this: and said, "REALLY, T?" She replied, "What?" I said, "Stop for a second and realize what you just said to me." She realized what she did and apologized profusely.

I told H and he asked me to deliver a message to T next session (which I did, verbatim): "f**k you AND your burlap". Then it was her turn to go . I actually kind of enjoyed it.
