How friend groups can navigate celebrations during fresh grief

Our friend group is planning a birthday party for someone whose mom just died and we're all disagreeing about whether to acknowledge the loss or try to create a 'normal' celebration. Half of us think mentioning it will ruin the day and half think ignoring it will feel worse, and we're stuck.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Communities of care often fracture over different philosophies of how to honor both joy and sorrow simultaneously.
