If she’s actually a Christian and believes in Christianity 100 percent, she would believe her dead husband is now in heaven. Why would she be sad about that if she really believes? She also has kids. Is she supposed to be sad and mope around all the time? Would it be better for her kids if she constantly was crying and not talking to anyone and staying in her room all day? Should she have thrown herself on a pyre after?
It’s fine to be critical of this woman for disagreeing with her political views, but it’s outrageous and gross for criticizing how she responds to her husband’s death. Some people like to put on a happy face in public and we have no idea what she is going through in private.
Why would she be sad about that if she really believes?
Because her loved one is no longer on Earth where she can live her life with him? My mom is 1000% a believer, and she was still an absolute wreck when my dad died, when my tia died, and when my brother died. Her only comfort is that “they’re in heaven”, but it did little to lessen the blow because she genuinely loved these people in her life, and now they’re just gone.
Erika eagerly jumped into the spotlight right after her husband was murdered, and has been happily riding the wave of new fame/attention. I’m not sure if you’ve ever lost someone that close to you, but there’s no way I could’ve pulled myself together enough to do that after my dad or brother died - much less if it was my life partner.
No amount of Christianity faiths away grief. Whatever you may sincerely think in your mind, you will feel the weight of the loss
Neither do folks necessarily expects a widow or widower to be wholly consumed by grief, and maybe even after 11 days be able to normally engage with normal life, though as far as my experience has been, such a traumatic death tends to impact people longer…
However, it is difficult to imagine such a cheerful, at ease demeanor in the context of discussing the memorial, and celebrating how awesome the ‘merch’ did. But let’s go and give the benefit of the doubt and say that a person with almost a couple weeks under their belt can at least distract themselves by pretending this is just another event and distancing their mind from the reality that it has to do with the spouse’s death. Except then due to some context I don’t know she seems to be concerned about infighting, and says he’s dead now and get over it as a reason to stop whatever infighting she was concerned about.
So she wasn’t acting like someone who found enough strength and comfort in her faith to carry on in a functional capacity in spite of the trauma. She wasn’t acting like someone who was distracting herself from the situation. She was a person at ease and excited about engagement and merchandising, with perhaps a bit of impatience for people that need to be told to get over it, he’s dead.
If all we were talking about was her being happy again, you’d be 100% correct. But there is a difference between moving on versus giggling at her husband’s murder less than four months after his body is put in the ground. Public or private, that’s a level of moving on that simply insults her husband’s memory.

It wouldn’t have to be after. Anytime would be fine.

What do you think about the second half of the article, which talks about her inviting a pedophile protecting Christian pastor on tour with her?

was she laughing at his death or whatever the fuck event of the century is?
She’s a Twatwaffle. No actual kind hearted people give a shit about her.
