[quote=Anonymous]OP, I want to take your post as saying your birthday observance is important BECAUSE it helps you regarding the loss of your own mother, so for that reason I'm giving you a pass on what at first glance looks stunningly self-absorbed. Which means if that is the underlying reason for your wanting some kind of birthday observance you should be able to have a conversation with your husband about this, while also recognizing that first milestones after a death are especially hard, and you're three years into a process that your husband is less than a year into. I imagine as well that holidays (which I hope you are realizing probably mean he is impacted by THESE milestones after his mother's death) are partly why he's thinking of something special to honor his mother. I think you need to work this out with him--again, remembering that his loss is much more recent--rather than coming here to engage in what really ends up coming off as whining. [/quote]
