I am really, really frustrated right now. Like, so frustrated that I don't even think I could put it all into words. I just feel like I'm the only one who cares that Olivia's birthday is coming up. Yes, it is Ben's birthday too. It is a celebration of his life. But shouldn't Olivia be remembered, too? Am I the only one who is willing to put aside how much it hurts to think that she is gone for one day to remind her parents that we love and miss her too? That they are not completely alone in missing her? Is that too much to ask?!
Please, say a prayer for me that I can make sense of this in my head. I just... UGH.

That is hard to handle. It might not be the same but maybe you can start your own tradition or have your own celebration for her. And then maybe in time your family can join you. Sometimes the hurt that a parent has doesn't allow them to think about how others are hurting too.
I hope things work out. -
