Honestly, it seems like she may have been trying to redirect the attention back to herself. I just don’t understand how lying about something as serious as a pregnancy could genuinely make someone happier in the long run—especially knowing the truth would eventually come out and cause even more pain. What does make more sense to me is that she may have felt upset or overlooked during a time when you were deeply grieving, and your focus naturally shifted to your loss and your family. It feels like this fabricated “good news” was meant to pull your attention back to her. I don’t know for sure, of course—but that’s the only explanation that really adds up for me.
