Is it better for you to go and she resents you being there? OR Is it better for you not to go and have her miss you?
Perhaps I didn't explain well enough. She didn't come to me and say, "It's okay if you attend this weekend" or "I'd prefer you weren't there this weekend."
It was always presumed we'd be attending as a family, before any of this started, and nothing has occurred to change that.
She is completely inscrutable at this point. Yesterday she seemed in a good mood, asked me how I was when she texted me. When I replied hoping she was having a good day, she came back enthusiastically. Today she seems down again.
She might resent me if I go; she might miss me if I don't. She might secretly wish she could have an open talk that clears the air and begins the healing, or she might be thinking that I'm a parasite in her hair.
Thus, I'm inclined that whatever I end up doing should be what makes me happy, without worrying about what she is thinking.
