That’s a perspective I hadn’t thought of to be fair. Different strokes and all that

May you never have to face it yourself

Just had a wee look at her there - she’s having a complete mental breakdown.

Seriously though, her young husband died tragically 11 days ago. Her entire life has been completely destroyed. That’s a harsh post even by TFK standards. She’s lonely, she’s in pain, she needs someone to cry on.

I have a friend my age who committed suicide during the pandemic, beautiful young wife, 2 young kids. They’re happy smiley Canadian people, he was the biggest hardest bastard you’d ever meet. Sound too. Anyhow, ever since that happened the wife is posting basically every single day, smiley happy photos with her and the kids. And they were really really in love, it wasn’t like an insurance scam. I guess… I don’t know what actually… it’s just something that she feels the need to do. Maybe it’s a cry for help, maybe it’s fake it till you make it, maybe it’s both.

I hear you. My bro passed away almost 4 years ago, his wife is still grieving heavily,
she brings him up any chance she gets. they were like 2 peas in a pod and she’s lost without him raising her children on her own .
Like you said it’s only been 11 days for that woman so it must feel like her world has just completely caved in.
She’s probably not been sleeping and even if she nods off When she wakes up I imagine for a split second she’s thinks it’s all been a dream until she realises it’s very real and the grieving starts again

Yeah I’d say she’s literally dizzy. She’s probably looking around the place thinking WTF? Why does everything look different but everyone else is still carrying on like normal?

Sorry for your brother / sister-in-law

Or you neither, what’s your point?

It is slightly different though. My Canadian friend is posting all that to her friends on Facebook. Lorraine Dempsey is posting it to the whole world on twitter. She’s a CEO of some charity or something so she’s mixing it up with the odd retweet of something professional. There are all these other big serious organisations that she does business with sending her messages of condolences, in between her posting photos of their wedding or whatever.

Like… it’s not an ideal way to grieve.

Edit: not that there is an ideal way to grieve.

Hence my original post and you saying it was harsh by TFK standards, it’s bizarre posting all things considered.

Until you’ve walked a mile in her shoes I suppose it’s difficult to understand her process of dealing with it. Fairest thing is to let her off.
I think @TreatyStones put it best above

It was harsh.

If I got a call to say my healthy wife had passed away suddenly in some other part of the country, I genuinely don’t know how I’d react. I’d imagine my world would fall apart. If I kept my outpouring of grief to social media as opposed to hitting the bottle, I think that would be a more respectful way of honouring her, although I can see why the other option of numbing the pain would be appealing (this was the option my grandfather took for a while when his wife died suddenly leaving him alone with a two year old daughter, my mother).
