How old is the grandchild? If they're old enough to miss you then they're old enough to explain to them why grieving people don't want to go to birthday parties. If they are very young then I'm sure the parents will understand. You can visit before the party to give a present and a hug.
Every one will understand as long as you arrange to see them outside of the busy party. But would pushing yourself actually help you to focus on the present for a few hours?
