We shall not resolve a short circuit of collective #mourning by shaming a stage of grief in its incompletion.
Disparagement of mourning is itself mourning incomplete. Angry refusal of this truth is itself denial.
A denial that has been long with us, longer than our pandemic, longer even than #RentierSociety.
Chaucer has Theseus berate mourners on the road for disturbing his festivities; then chastise Palamon & Emelye for continuing to mourn Arcite.
Such #GriefTaboo is all our "Long Denial".
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics. /
