Go outside with your kids or give your parents a call. Take a walk in nature. Do anything but be a politically obsessed online weirdo.
I give a lot of grace to people in the midst of grief. I'm well aware grief doesn't always look like it does in the movies and varies greatly among individuals. That being said, when you look at the full picture here, I don't think it's wrong to have some questions. It isn't simply that she wasn't crying real tears. This is a woman who mic'd herself up and had someone film a dramatic scene at her husband's casket to post to Instagram, gave a 15 minute address to his fans (followers? supporters? what are we calling them?) from his office a mere 48 hours after his death where the focus was on continuing his legacy with Turning Point and thanking Trump and Vance, again, with no actual tears being shed, was announced as new CEO of TP and seemingly approved fundraising emails to be sent using her husband's death as a money making opportunity, entered a stage to pyrotechnics at a memorial service where they were selling merchandise, and then gave another speech in which she pretended to cry but no actual tears were shed. The whole thing feels like an act.
Yep I'm conservative and my husband and I both agree something is off with her. I understand people grieve differently but it doesn't feel genuine and seems very performative.
Where I come from, the extended family and close friends attend a gathering with lots of food after a funeral. There is a lot of talk about memories, etc, and, even, lots of laughing. People grieve differently. And, she has a great responsibility. I'm sure she has her moments.
Mary Katharine Hamm experienced widowhood when she was pregnant and had a two year old. She has written about this and tweeted some. x.com/mkhammer
One thing I kind of remember her writing after her husband died (bicycle accident) was that she did not want pity and for them to be looked at with sorrow or something like that.
People grieve differently. And, it comes in waves--sometimes much later.
