Relationship Stress
We continue to have issues in our relationship due to one event that happened 4 years ago. My husband has completely cut off connection with my parent since they did not attend his brothers marriage. Reason for this was my mom had just lost her sister and was not in a mindset to attend an event like wedding celebration. He continued to ask me to make them come until the day but I did not want to force my parents into a situation they were uncomfortable in. My husband and parents earlier shared a cordial relation prior to this. This now continues to be bought up in every argument we have and it's come to a breaking point that we haven't spoken to each other in more than a week. I don't want to drag my parents into this but at a loss of what to do. Please help!

This seems to be a small item to hold a grudge over for 4 years.....
is there more to the story was this a last minute decision to back pout of attending ? why has this such a big deal for your spouse and family is it a cultural thing ?
Have you discussed with spouse what can be done to put this behind for everyone.
A death or grief is a very valid excuse to not attend an event. If he asked you to force them and you did not why is he not mad at you or is he ?
