Today, my fiancé/son’s father’s death anniversary is in a few days. I asked my closest friends if they’d hang with me so I could try and keep my mind off it, and so I wouldn’t be alone (my son will be with fiancé’s parents). They couldn’t be bothered and want to go away for the weekend instead. Without me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son is a real ass. My mother died and he literally only booked off half a day to attend his own grandmother's funeral, doesn’t plan to spend time with me after the burial, and since he booked it, all he has done is complain about the three meetings he’s going to miss that morning. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that I need to get out of house and be with my friends. I have no friends here, and my own family doesn’t ever want to go do anything either. I guess I’m not a likable person if even my fiancé is trying to get me out of his hair. FML
Today, my son and I attended the funeral of a family friend. It went as well as any funeral could, up until the point that my apparently drunk son tried to grope the widow. I came an inch away from causing my son to need his own funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend canceled his plans to attend my father's wake, not even 10 minutes after he found out there won't be any alcohol on offer. FML
Today, it's my husband's funeral. My adult children never made it secret that they didn't like him, but I'd hoped they'd come to support me. Their replies when I asked them went from, "You know I hated him", to "No, I have work", to "I'm not going anywhere near that fanatic's church." FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. FML
Today, my dad is terminally ill from bone cancer. It’s been 2 months and not even one of my so-called friends have asked me how I’m doing or how my parents are doing. They do however contact me when they need something. I have always been there for them - guess I was a fool. FML
Today, my son has decided he doesn’t want children, or pets, or friends, or a girlfriend, or to visit his living relatives, except for me. I’m scared that once I’m dead he’ll disappear into his house and never come out until the neighbours notice the smell after he’s dead. FML
Today, I'd organized a small dinner with immediate family for my birthday. I’ve since received texts from every one of them, cancelling due to varying reasons. My parents excuse is the funniest - they went out last night for a coworker’s party, and don’t want to go out again tonight. For me. Their child. FML
Today, the reason I’d rather elope with my fiancée than have a wedding is because I have no friends. FML

first of all I'm so sorry for your loss. and I'm sorry you have to be alone, what about doing something to honor him? like write him a letter or a poem, light a candle, go and get one of his fav foods and enjoy it while thinking of him, do something for yourself, visit his grave if you can and have a good cry if you need to. I know this won't bring him back or make your grieving process any easier but I hope this helps at least a little bit, I don't know you but I'm sending you lots of love today 💗

Not every culture commemorates the anniversary of the passing of a loved one. My wife is Jewish and she does. That seemed odd and morbid to me as I was raised as a Christian and unless the deceased was a real A-hole, their death was considered to be a time of their “going back home to be with God.” I tell you this to point out that different cultures and religions handle the death of a loved one differently. Nobody has a lock on the best way to do it - Just be aware that people deal with grief and separation differently depending on their personality, culture and beliefs.

I don't think this has anything to do with a commemoration but more like "someone dear to me is gone, please I just don't to be alone on this day".
