    I didn’t know a single person whose faith caused them to feel like the loss of a loved one is no big deal. They may say that in their mind, but it hurts all the same

    But maybe 11 days is enough to be a bit more collected in general, but the context is off-putting. Even thinking about revenue and merch sales during something akin to your spouse’s funeral seems like a sociopath. I’ve heard people who had absolutely moved on and normal day to day get choked up at a one year memorial when they were faced with discussing a close friend. To be directly talking about a memorial for your husband less than two weeks after his death without missing a beat, and sincerely at complete ease, not merely trying to put up a brave front… That’s not the reaction of someone that actually cared.
