People don't understand that even people who are grieving have moments of cheerfulness. Grieving doesn't mean that you're crying 24/7. Grieving doesn't mean that you don't keep up appearances - most people show up to their jobs in 11 days. I have seen this personally from people who are upset years after a given event. I've seen it from many other people from whose behavior you would not be able to see that they are grieving.
This is a bad and truly nasty thing to do to a widow.
Grieving means there would be some voice crack, crying, or something WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE MEMORIAL OF HER DEAD FUCKING HUSBAND 11 DAYS AFTER HE WAS MURDERED. The “everyone grieves differently” is bullshit too, yes there are multiple versions of grief, short of her being bipolar giggling over dead hubby merch sales isn’t one. This is sociopathic behavior.
I've seen it from many other people from whose behavior you would not be able to see that they are grieving.
I'm starting to think that if I knew those same people in real life, I'd walk away with a different assessment. Stories are filtered significantly by the time they make it on the internet.
As far as Erika's grief process, her initial reaction was more anger and defiance. Fair enough at the time. But I haven't seen any of that since then either! What I have seen is bragging about merch sales FROM HER HUSBAND'S MEMORIAL SERVICE
