So, I’m a mother to two children, my seven year old son and my one year old daughter. We’re currently in that weird cycle of sleep deprivation because school is out/toddlers don’t sleep 😂 Last night,

May the Domenech-McCain child grow up to be a radical gay socialist.

And how exactly are you and Joy similar Meghan?  Joy grew up working class.  You grew up privileged to the nth degree.  Joy is a self-made woman.  You have coasted by on your family's money and name.

Has Meghan been back to see her mother since her father’s funeral?  There’s something really obsessive and unhealthy about counting the days.  

Someone posted this from her IG on one of the weekly threads, and I wondered the same thing. It sounded to me like she hasn't been back to AZ since his death.

106 days. I promise I will hike this mountain again. I promise I will go home to Arizona again. I promise I will sit on our bench again like you loved so much and told me to. For some reason, I still just can’t. Cacti, Belvedere vodka, crossing over the bridge to capitol hill in the winter, shrimp fried rice with extra chili sauce, every single beach boys song ever made, ray ban aviator sunglasses, the sound of college football on tv in another room, old newspapers on a table, the army/navy game, my jawline in the mirror - the reminders of you are everywhere. I miss you so much dad, I’m never going to stop missing you. Stay with me. Again, if reminders that grief for a loved one doesn’t just dissipate after 3.5 months is a source of discomfort for anyone, there’s always the unfollow button. And to anyone out there who is or has been where I am at - you are not alone, I fight along side you and am sending you strength. ♥️🌵

I wonder if MM's fam told her NOT to talk about them for privacy.  OTOH, I can totally believe that MM is self-centered enough NOT to even think about them.  

How long is her public grief going to continue????

I could see posting on holidays,  birthdays, etc., but not randomly longgggg ruminations. 

I imagine that she knows deep down that she's got no other talent/ claim to fame except her last name........ which is fading away into history.

Her public grieving makes it seem like she loved her father more than the rest of her family.  Obviously not true but in today's social media world perception is reality.  Oh who am I kidding?  It's not just the social media world its the real world as well.

And she is going to keep doing this as long as it gets her attention.  As soon as the media finds another story to cover I predict Meghan will pull up her big girl pants and move on.

Let me preface this post by saying that everyone grieves differently and that's ok. And really, it is but for the life of me the way Meghan is going about this is really pissing me off and shows just how selfish she is. I lost my mother - who was my absolute best friend and rock - a little over a year ago to cancer. She was in her 50's. Needless to say the last year and the months leading up to her death were absolute hell for all of us who love her but none of that compares to the absolute hell she was experiencing. I don't understand how someone could witness someone they love go through that and not be thankful that their loved one is no longer suffering. That's not to say you don't miss that person like hell and that you aren't angry that they are no longer around but it does give you some perspective. I've never once heard her mention anything about her father no longer being in pain or him finally being at peace and this astounds me, especially considering the faith she claims to espouse. 

I really don't like judging other people's processes because I know what it's like but gosh she just pisses me off. 

This. I lost my eldest daughter just a year ago. She was my mini-me. But she had suffered for quite a long time. All I can think about is my thankfulness my baby is no longer in pain. Now I can think of her with joy.

Butterfly....truer words were never spoken....you are right on the money. That's how you are suppose to feel if you lose a parent to a disease. Good God From Zion, what she is saying is really kinda insane. It's not normal.  God, I thought I was strange.

She needs to get herself a nice notebook, and when she has something like this on her mind, she can write it in her book, but not post anything.  She can bundle it and sell it as Letters to My Father.

Self-serving depressing tweets. 

Some people love that shit. 

When someone sees someone wallowing it gives them permission to wallow.  I've noticed on my FB when someone posts about being sick most comments are from people also sick.

Why is it necessary for Meghan to write to her deceased father via InstaGram?  Can't she write it in a special journal?  Couldn't she just project those thoughts without writing?  

Where are the heartfelt Instagram messages to her mother, her grandmother, her siblings?

This! This is another thing that makes me side eye the hell out of her. In addition to this, what about her baby nephew, who carries his grandfather's name? I've never once heard her mention this kid. Most aunts usually gush about their nieces and nephews.

Her Instagram post. Oh dear...I was going to say it sounds like something a young teenager might post but even then that seems very personal. Posting that seems to me that she does not talk to her family or friends about what she’s going through. It’s like she lost the one and only person she knows on this earth. No one else matters to her. 

Could she have a personality disorder? It’s a bit narcissistic to act like you’re the only one whose ever had a death in the family.  Most people in their thirties have experienced illness and/or death of a loved one or friend in their life. 

He was her whole identity...she identifies as J.M.’s daughter and that’s all she is or ever will be. She may not have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the political “elite” now that he’s gone. It’s sad. She needs help but her personality is such that she will never seek or admit it.

I so agree about her over-the-top public grief.

I lost my dad when I was 29 (5 yrs younger than MM) of pancreatic cancer. He only had 9 weeks from diagnosis to death, so not a sudden death, like an accident or heart attack, but not much time to come to grips with a terminal illness. He was only 64, so nearly 20 years younger than JM, which made it even more sad--too young.

And I was a newlywed, who just 6 months after having my dad walk me down the aisle, had to walk down that same aisle behind his casket!

Yes, I cried many tears, felt it was unfair that my family was going through this again, (my 16 yr old sister was tragically killed in a car accident about 8 years earlier), yet I never burdened others with my grief. 

I was more worried about my mom, who suffered these two losses. It took me until I became a mom myself to realize that our loss wasn't the same; I lost a sister--she lost her baby; I lost my dad--she lost her husband and partner and best friend of 40 years. NOT the same!

Hey ladies and gents!

When Meghan is not on The View, occasionally she makes me proud of her. I am in full agreement with her on this tweet, even though I wonder if she would have written it had she not experienced it up close and personal with her father's illness. Bill O'Reilly is a total ghoul and tweets like this disgust me.

Well, Meghan we all love holiday theme attire when it looks good.

I don't think you should say you love holiday theme attire of plaid shoes, jacket, cape/coat and something on the head of an overweight person. We don't love it!

She needs to clean the dust off of her mirror. 

And make her bed!  I always laugh at these mirror selfies that I see, because the person taking them really pays no notice to what's in the background - unmade beds, dirty mirrors, cluttered, messy bedrooms/bathrooms (I've even seen a naked or towel-garbed spouse in the background).  And, she's overdoing the plaid just a bit with that outfit - everything is sooo extra with Meghan!

It was way too matchy matchy.  One piece of plaid would have been fine but the jacket the shoes and coat was just too much.

That plaid looked like something she would have worn as a rich bitch teen thinking she looked great. It's obvious that's still part of her mindset. If that's her bedroom in the background it doesn't look very patriotic instead it looks bland. I found these photos from 2015 from an LA Times house tour which shows the interior of her LA abode back then. I thought there was a video or photos of her current NY pad sometime back but had trouble finding anything online. Instead all the results were either stories about her father's death or her parents real estate holdings from 2008.

Not a fan of the plaid blazer with the plaid coat draped over, however, with just one of either of those pieces, I think it's a cute outfit. Gotta say, when I occassionally see Meghan out and about via IG, I find her sense of style far more appealing and flattering to her than on the show.

Meghan McCain Defends Posting Christmas Message to Her Late Father John McCain
 

I don't think there's any stigma about talking about grief, death or cancer, but like many things, there are times and places to address the issue. Any platform is not an effective platform. Meghan wants to continue talking about these things because it's a way for her to talk about herself and make it seem like she's doing something for the greater good. I know not all experiences are the same but I have yet to meet anyone who had a harder time dealing with the death of a loved one who was very sick than they did dealing with the actual care of that loved one while alive and suffering.  When it comes down to it, grief is a selfish feeling...it has less to do with the deceased and more to do with how you feel about them not being around anymore and I say that with no judgment because I have experienced grief myself. It's a natural feeling when dealing with any kind of loss but not every forum is appropriate. Most people can't show up to work and constantly interject about their grief, death, and cancer as they like or make it about themselves during a toast at someone else's wedding. If constantly being in your feelings and talking about it is stalling your progress in the stages of grief and learning to cope, then guess what, you're doing a disservice to your own well being. Again, there is value in encouraging people to seek help and support from professionals, family, and/or friends but as I mentioned already, Meghan's approach doesn't seem like an attempt to de-stigmatize or take her own experiences to help others - it seems like she's pretending to have a social cause to take up so that she can continue talking about herself and attempting to shame others who are willing to call it out.

Let's face it.  If her dad hadn't died she would not be getting the media attention she is getting.  I'm sure she is genuinely grieving her father but IMO her public over the top grieving is tacky at best and calculated at worst.  She is not doing herself (and us) any favors by wallowing. And she is wallowing.  It would be one thing if she would say I'm trying to move on and it's tough but she isn't doing that.  She is always talking about missing him and how she is lost without him.  It's like grief has become a competition for her and she is bound and determined to win.  I wonder what she is like in private with friends and family.  Is she constantly talking about her grief or is it just a public display?

I'd like to get into a time machine and go back to my life before I read that article because that was a profile of a human being who sniffs their own farts and has a transcriber/enabler who works for the Los Angeles Times to reinforce the notion to the general population that said farts bear the distinct fragrance of an English country garden. She's nothing more than a basic bitch who hired a half-wit decorator who seemed to have been cut off from funding midway through the project so MM decided that expensive handbags and an unused Louis Vuitton day planner would suffice as objets d'art in her otherwise crappy apartment that makes a bungalow in Melrose Place look like a suite at the Mandarin.

She looks like a bored suburban hausfrau suffering from a case of trying-too-hard-to-be-cool in those photos.
