Losing a family member is really tough, but it would be especially tough if they passed away on your birthday as that day would forever be tinged with sadness. It may also cause family disputes, much like it did with one woman and her family who labeled her as 'heartless' for having a candlelit meal with her girlfriend at home to celebrate on her birthday, which was also the anniversary of her nephew's death.
She took to Reddit to ask whether people thought she was in the wrong for celebrating his birthday, despite the fact she spent the morning with her sister, who was still grieving the death.
