I think we all appreciate the fact that everyone grieves differently. The posters here are not hardhearted by nature, and I think you'll find that out yourself, if you continue to post here. But I'm going to say again, what I said before. Even her mom, who knows her better than any of us on this board, was shocked by how she was acting. Surely her mom, who has known her for 20+ years, can be considered more in the "know" about her daughter, than us.
It's not just how she grieves that most are basing their opinions on. That's only one component - one of the many red flags people are sensing. In and of themselves, one of these things you could chalk up to a fluke, but put them all together, and it is suspicious to many.
I'm quoting you because when you said that about her mom, it made me remember something she said at Cooper's funeral.
I've bolded that part below. And it makes me wonder if others, in her immediate circle of family and friends, were questioning her lack of emotion as well, and that's why she felt the need to address it in her speech. I don't know, just something that made me think.
"Any of that time that I spend doing over and over and over, I would never trade that. Cooper's last two nights at home, he had trouble sleeping," she said, calling it unusual. During the last two nights, "he slept in between me and Ross snuggling in between both of us. I remember turning over in the middle of the night, his mouth was open and his full toddler lips just breathing right into my face. I will cherish that moment forever. Some of you might wonder how I'm even standing here today. I wonder that myself and I asked myself that question over and over the last week," she said.
"I should be crumpled into a heap of snot and tears into the dirt, but the Lord is holding me up right now. He is holding Ross up. And he is holding both of us up when we can't hold ourselves up. I miss my son and I will miss him forever."
