I believe it is better to pass on your OWN special day so that your loved ones can remember you then.... and not mar their special days with sadness..... I hope this comment doesn't offend anyone.
I don't know the person but I can relate to this comment. My mother went into a coma and was rushed into hospital on a Tuesday morning. Family sat by her bed all day until staff told us to go home at 11.00 pm as there had been no change since she came in. Five minutes away phone ring she had passed away.11. 15 pm. Wednesday was her eldest grandsons birthday. I'm sure she went to avoid. A reminder on his day.
