So. My little sister, 18, died after heart failure resulting from her 3 year struggle with anorexia. My girlfriend calls me three days after the funeral obviously angry. She starts crying on the phone claiming that I ignored her and didn't talk to her as much during the funeral and the time after. All I can think: What the fuck.

*Edit
Damn. It has been incredible to receive this amount of support from the Imgur community; Thank you guys. As an update, and as many of you suggested, I'm sitting my girlfriend down to sort through the shit and likely severing ties. It's fucking hard letting someone go who has been in your life intimately for three years you know? But the worst thing is I can't really bring myself to give two shits about her because the only one who has my heart right now is Maggie (my little sister). Thank you guys again for the messages, advice and comments. I have no cat, so I cannot afford the cat tax, so send me some of yours. Cheers!

Ex GF mad at me for ignoring her at my brother's funeral. A breakup and a funeral on the same day wasn't the plan. Good luck @OP.

she was at the funeral but felt left out since he didn't pay attention, that definitely makes her a cunt for wanting attention at that time
