TL;DR

A woman seeks advice on Reddit after her late boyfriend's family plans a "heavenly birthday party" for him, while she prefers to grieve in her own way. She explains that it has only been a month since his passing and she is not ready to attend a party celebrating his life. Instead, she wants to spend the day alone, visiting their favorite places, baking his favorite cake, looking at photos, and visiting his grave. The family doesn't understand her perspective and accuses her of being selfish and disrespectful. Reddit users support her, emphasizing that grief is a personal journey and everyone should be allowed to grieve in their own way.
