When friend groups disagree on how to memorialize difficult deaths

Our friend group lost someone to cancer last month and we're planning the memorial service but we're split between celebrating his life versus acknowledging how brutal his final weeks were, and some people want to pretend it wasn't as awful as it was.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective mourning requires reconciling the reality of physical suffering with the need to find meaning and celebration.
