[quote=Anonymous]Ugh OP, I’m sorry for your loss and for the shitty responses you have gotten. It would be unreasonable to demand your husband not throw a party at all or try and stop other people from doing their thing. But I think you get total choice over your own involvement PERIOD for any reason, but especially when you are grieving. Quietly not attending/making other non-dramatic plans and asking to not be involved in planning are very reasonable things. If you like your MIL it’s good to have the goal of eventually getting back to where you were in terms of your involvement in her life but there’s no hurry as long as you aren’t stopping her from seeing your kids or your husband. When I lost my sister I just needed space from people in general for awhile. I did eventually re-enter the world as before.[/quote]
