Advice and opinion

Hi i just wanna ask for an advice or opinion So for context may father in law died recently and the first plan was for my MIL to celebrate the new year with us, and now she just wanted to stay at home and be with her late husband(urn) at their house together with her other apo. My husband insisted to be with them on that day 31-1 I do understand their lost bcos i already lost my mom too, we have a child and this is the 1st time that we will be apart on new year salubong. There is this part of me na ayaw ko naman sana na hnd kme complete as a family on that day, but i dont know where to stand. So hayaan ko nalang ba muna yung husband ko doon away from us, or should i demand na to be with us.

Ay, mama, this is really tough kaya I totally get the mixed feelings mo. Honestly, I think letting your husband be there for his mom on that day is the right call, she's grieving and he needs to be present for her, pero that doesn't mean your family has to split completely, kaya maybe compromise: what if you and baby visit them for a few hours on the 31st para hindi kayo completely apart, then celebrate New Year with your husband when he comes home, or the next day? A few of my mum friends who've been through similar losses say that allowing their husbands space to grieve as a son actually made the healing faster and brought the whole family closer eventually. Your feelings are valid, but this particular moment isn't about demanding, it's about showing your MIL that her loss matters to your family too, and your husband will really appreciate that understanding.
