Today, it was my birthday. It was also the only day my family wanted to hold the graveside funeral for my grandmother, who passed last week. FML

First of all, you do not celebrate deaths. You celebrate happy events. Secondly, from a rational point of view, you should give priority to people that are alive. Funerals can be arranged to take place on a certain day, but you cannot choose the date you were born on. Also, I doubt repeating the word '*******' three times in your comment makes it right.

Just celebrate your B day later. It's just a birthday, I mean, are you 12?

You get more birthdays. you don't get another Grandmother. Suck it up and get over it.

I'm sorry to hear that OP, I had to bury my brother on my birthday too. It will suck, naturally, but fortunately you will be surrounded by family & friends in remembrance of your grandparent & they will help get you through this. Just keep in mind that with a death in the family, they may have forgotten all about your birthday in the midst of intense grief and not a slight against you in the least. And please ignore all of these comments that say you're selfish, it's so rude & poor planning, etc. They obviously have no idea what they're talking about & no clue what you're going through. It's just an unfortunate happenstance. So sorry for your loss.

Jesus Christ it's just a birthday. You have one every year. Your grandma died.

I'm sure you'll have other birthdays. Whiny ass. Someone in your family dies and you're bitching about being alive another year.

Awww same thing happened to me. Mine was for my little brother and my parents forgot it was my birthday. But I was totally understanding about it since they went through a lot :(

You have to understand your family, a week is not enough to move on. I can't consider this either a FML or a YDI.

You have to understand your family, a week is not enough to move on. I can't vote this neither a YLS nor YDI.

@102. Regardless of what the rest of the rest of the family is going through, which I do not dismiss, OP's life DEFINITELY sucks. Acknowledging that something sucks for someone does not immediately imply putting blame or judgement elsewhere. Sorry OP, YLS.

Won't stop from partying later that week, think of it as a birthday tab

OP I know exactly how you feel. My family did the same thing to me. I have not been able to enjoy a birthday since. I hope that you can try to enjoy your next birthday.
