My girlfriend and I have got a few plans for later in the year. We live in the UK and there's a few music artists were going to see and a couple of festivals between May-June then we're looking at going on holiday in June or July.

My mum was diagnosed with cancer last year and she unfortunately got worse tepidly this month and passed away a couple of days ago.

I told my gf I'm not going to be in the right headspace to go away for a few months so the plans we've gotten will have to be cancelled or she can go on her own or sell my tickets to a friend.

My girlfriend said I am putting my life on hold when I shouldn't be. I just repeated what i had already said. I told her no one is stopping her going but I won't be there.

She just again said I shouldn't be putting my life on hold and pointed out my sister had recently been on holiday.

AITA for cancelling plans due to the death of a parent?
