Should I refuse to celebrate my birthday because it's on the anniversary of my brother's funeral?
why don't you want to celebrate your birthday?
Because I feel like shit for celebrating it when my brother died.
Your reason is understandable. If you feel sad about celebrating your birthday which sadly coincides with your brother's death anniversary it's ok not to celebrate it.
That's what I thought, still people will judge and criticize me for not celebrating though.
Their opinion doesn't matter, you shouldn't have to celebrate. Can you move your celebration to another day?
