[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore all these judgey op’s saying you should suck it up and go. I suspect they just envy how close you were to your mom. Let them judge, not everyone is close with their parents and are capable of empathizing.

Also, I know I will get a lot of flack for this but dcum skews wealthy and affluent. And there’s been many solid studies that show that as people gain wealth, they lose empathy. I would not take responses here as a reflection of how the average person would respond. [/quote]

Empathy is for MIL who is alive.  [/quote]

IT’S ONE BIRTHDAY, PEOPLE.  MIL wil survive if ONE of her family members are not able to attend this ONE birthday party. She really will. I promise. OP is not proposing to cut MIL out of her life forever because her mother died. She is saying it would be difficult for her to attend a birthday party and celebrate her MIL’s bday right after her mother’s death.

Seriously who are you people? [/quote]

How do you know that MIL will survive or OP will survive or OP's DH will survive?  Maybe this is the last birthday that they all will be well and together.  Yes, OP is sad. Yes, she cannot be expected to plan any party as well as TG and Christmas.  But, she should attend even for a little while and her husband and kids should be there for MIL.

We celebrate everyone who is alive and we fondly remember everyone who have left this Earth. It is really as simple as that. [/quote]
