About a year ago my father died, and since than my mother has been doing some things that seem a little odd, that she has never done before. To begin with, My family has always been somewhat secular, even through me and my siblings were all baptized Catholic, but we never really practiced the religion, on holidays like Easter and Christmas we would decorate the house in both religious and secular symbols, and every now and then My mom would say something like "You're not suppose to do that, you're Catholic". But since my father's death she has done somethings that seem a little odd, the most recent being on this past Good Friday, she for the first time made kinda of a big deal over not eating meat on Good Friday, she told me "that I'm not supposed to eat meat, and that I'm a bad Catholic, and I should start practicing the religion a litte bit" when I had no objections to not eating meat in the first place. I think it's a little weird, because she never made a big deal about it before when my father was alive, would this have anything with my Mom tying to cope with my father's death? And by the way I really don't consider myself to have no religion, because I do wonder if there is a higher power, and I think the jury is still out, but at the same time I do look at most things in a logical way.
