Wasn't really sure where to put this, here or Grief/Loss, sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Talks about death, sorry if it needs trigger icon.

Kate (my GF) and I are getting the ashes of our passed nephew, Vlad, soon.
We want to sprinkle them somewhere he used to really love.
It's just such a sad process- some unsupportive people said we were wrong not to go with a funeral.
Why can't they be civil and accept that maybe we have different beliefs to them?
I look forward to the day that everyone can accept each other and realize everyone deals with things in different ways. I would not tell someone else their way of doing something like this was wrong simply because I would do it differently.
Just sad that not only are people judging simply because we did not want a funeral, but because I miss him today. I wish people would think about how their words could hurt before they go and give them. It's not as if anyone is doing anything wrong. Have we not suffered enough already?
It's something I have a hard enough time talking about IRL, and it's sad that when I talk to people about it, I am not met with kindness I don't ask people to agree with me, but simply to accept and understand.

Peace everyone. Sorry if this seems pointless Just needed to share.
