I wasn't saying they aren't entitled. In fact, I was saying they were and using a very real example. You can say you wouldn't resent the relative, but unless you a soulless drone, you will feel avarice, anger, resentment, and even entitlement. You will hate the relative and forget everything you loved about your uncle for some time. You will complain to friends and family, and investigate why it wasn't you. This is how people react when they aren't grief-stricken, and while I never outright said it, you knew the uncle had died and had even went to the funeral (the relative didn't of course, you had never met). I took the time to include grieving into the story, you assumed it was recent.
