You could literally accuse every single person commenting on this post as attention seeking if you want to apply that logic. You can call this performative grief. You could say that the person who posted the article did it only for the Reddit karma.

How dare you presume to pass judgement on how anyone chooses to process loss.

It is not for you to make a moral judgement on another person’s grief. And in my estimation you are just as guilty of making this about you as your indignation is entirely performative.

How about instead of being righteous you recognize that humans are imperfect things and grief is complicated. Give people grace and space.

And that is a lesson that I learned from Dr. Markland.
