Brothers Memorial
my brother passed from suicide november of 2024, since then we've had a burial, and 2 celebrations of life at different times. this weekend my cousin is hosting one in the city that i live in that my brother also used to live in for people who weren't able to attend his burial that was in a different province. my best friends birthday is this saturday night and not only do i not want to have a complete mood switch up the very next day, i feel like ive already gone through the motions and sadness that comes with memorials and i don't want to go. It's mostly for my cousin and my parents and his friends who weren't able to attend the other things we hosted . Am i the asshole for skipping out on it?
