How to navigate group grief rituals when friends need different things

It's been two years since our friend Sam died and every year around his birthday our group tries to do something to remember him, but half of us want to celebrate his life with the big party he would have loved and the other half need something quieter. Last year we ended up doing nothing because we couldn't agree and everyone felt terrible about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A friend group's different grief styles are preventing them from creating meaningful rituals together, leaving everyone feeling like they're failing their lost friend.
