When friend groups disagree about how to honor public figures

Our friend group has been arguing about whether to attend the memorial concert for that musician we all loved, because half of us think it's healing and half think it's performative grief tourism, and now what should bring us together is tearing us apart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A shared love has become a source of division, revealing different beliefs about authentic mourning and appropriate ways to honor collective loss.
