Standing up to family for what you believe in

No one could save him, my grandma and uncle saw it happen. They're just devastated. On the other side, all my family is trying to guilt trip me. They're just standard people, when it comes to a tragedy, it's then all about religion. One of my cousins tried to tell me it's not, I do trust what he's saying to me, but I know my family will judge me. Thanks y'all for being the fresh mental air I need.

I watched both my parents die in hospice, (not at the same time) saw the death rattle/last gasp. Gave them both religious send offs, it's what they wanted and the community expected. When the religious mourners/life celebrators came around I politely said 'Thank You' and/or 'I'm not ready to talk about it yet'. They weren't trying to guilt trip me, but as the indoctrinated, it's all that they knew. Don't hate them for being sheep, they don't know any better.

If you're as young as I think, sounds like you'll have to do this a few more times. Make a plan.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
