Absolutely agree.  We lost my beautiful younger sister just before Christmas last year and it's been a revelation to me how differently various family members have coped with her death in the last months.  Some of us, at least externally, have "moved on", others are still grieving to the point where I am concerned that they are going to need help as they seem to be slipping into depression.  Mostly we're managing and I am proud to say none of us spend hours on FB posting memes about it - that said I shouldn't really say that because if that's how someone is coping well, that's how they're coping!   Anyway bottom line there is no one right way to grieve.  There just isn't.

I agree that there is no one right way to grieve; and like I said before, I don't mind Meghan posting those T + whatever number of days photos. There is however a wrong way to grieve. Using your grief as an excuse to be abusive towards others, especially your coworkers, is wrong. It is something both good and bad people do. The difference is good people will usually feel some sense of shame, embarrassment, guilt or regret for their actions and then course correct. It's been two years since Sen. McCain's diagnosis and Meghan has yet to course correct. I'm pretty sure I know the reason why.

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.

I felt bad for Meghan today, which is new for me. She was clearly grieving her aunt, but had to show up lest she be accused of whimping out on comforting Junior. Tough position. It was actually really sweet at the end when she thanked her co-hosts.

Yeah she was in very bad spot.  Im sorry Megs.  Was she Mom or Dads side? Sending my best.  To be on topic, omg she has to quit with the  Mister this or that.  I was good until she hit it out with 'Mr Trump'.  I could see yes for some one elder, or most ppl you find in a service uniform, military or civil, most doctors.  DjTj's FATHER for crying out loud.  DJTJ....no..  i couldnt even tell what she asked next after that.  Was that when the GF wept for the Mccain family?

I think they discovered the sardonic side that they have in common.  And new Besties began!!  Dont worry, still quick to cut each others throat at the drop of a hat hee.  But a new twisted side in common was discovered. A twisted mutual respect.  I think they both would agree heehee.  Joy has called herself twisted before, though dont ask me when, i dont know..and MM, good gawd, go no further LOL.  Still if this is a peace accord, i will take it!

The aunt who died was John McCain's older sister, Alexandra AKA Sandy, age 85. Cindy McCain announced the death, adding that she died "peacefully." She didn't mention unexpected, after a long illness, etc.

I read this in an article in the Arizona Republic but I'm not linking it because I have no idea what we're allowed to post anymore.

Cindy McCain posted on twitter - "Sandy Morgan sister to John S McCain passed those morning. There are together again."

Sigh.

ETA -  spelling correct.  Probably just me but I would call her my SIL and MM should have said something about this aunt, a daughter of her great grandmother that has has too many deaths in her family.

To me, MM came off as heavily tranquilized  medicated. The way she was just sitting there stoicly, staring off into space, was almost comical to me. Her only question to DJTJR was said in such a soft, meek voice, which sounded weird coming out of her. Then after the interview, the others are talking about school hours and MM butts in with something along the lines of, "can I just say how nice it is working with you ladies." First of all, stay on subject. Second of all, you have said before how stressful it is working on The View. 

I know her aunt died, but I really think her personality change was due to being  medicated so that she could deal with DJTJR.

I also think she's a-scared of DJT's backlash.

I thought the same thing. I understand her being sad about her aunt dying but her demeanor was subdued. Like yes in fact she had been medicated.

Her voice was quite literally breaking up at points. 

Who wouldn't have a subdued demeanor after the death of a relative?

I understand the Meghan dislike (and revel in it lots), but she's not a robot.

One thing occurred to me as I was watching them replay on CNN this morning the segment where she first asked Don Jr. a question.  Her demeanor was very similar to what it was when she spoke at her father's funeral.  Afterwards, there was a lot of praise for her in the press.  I thought she was behaving the same way during yesterday's interview because she knew it would receive a lot of coverage, and she wanted to show that same side of herself that many in the general public, who were otherwise unfamiliar with her, admired so much last year.

I hadn't even thought of her being medicated, but after reading your two posts, I think that's right.  Remember how much she was sobbing at the pre-funeral events?  But she made it through the eulogy without crying.  Now, I suspect she was medicated then as well.  She may be one of those people who gets very weepy over the death of anyone she's close to.  I bet she was medicated yesterday so she could make it through the show without crying.

I don't think any of us thought she was being robotic.  The way she acted yesterday and I'm not criticizing her for it, was very different from how she normally acts.

Ditto. She annoys me in a way very few people on the shows I watch do. I don’t really “hate watch.” But I do think she’s a human with a heart, and she is a sensitive person despite her “wannabe tough chick” schtick. It made me sad seeing her in pain yesterday.

I still don't understand why Meghan got the award instead of one of her brothers, her brothers-in-law, her sister-in-law or her niece, who are either veterans or currently serving in the military.

Oh, man.  I looked up her tweets, and first, she is telling someone to be kind while she is being less than kind herself (and she's going out of her way to respond, on her personal twitter page, to someone's tweet from The View's twitter page, not her own).

She says, "You know what - this is deeply insensitive and I am sick of this garbage". 

She says she "does the absolute best I can...Do not judge my grief, my pain, and my love for my family."

She finishes by saying, "Oh, yeah, I do it every single day on television."  Well, that's the whole problem right there.

The tweet that set her off - "Sorry for her loss, but this is getting really old.  Other people's father's died.  They were important too."

She really said her father was an American icon? I think she is excessively grieving because she isn't being treated like an American icon.

Meggie is obsessed with her father's death.  I feel sorry for John's mom for having to bury two children (wasn't it his sister that died last week?).  Meggie knows she would be working overnight at Wal-Mart if it wasn't for her father because most people wouldn't put up with her dramatics.

Wow.  Way to be sympathetic to others, Meg.  How dismissive is that?  She's saying no one can grieve as she does unless their loved one is an icon.

She lost her elderly father who was sick with brain cancer. She knew he was going to die. How is her grief any more important than a people who have lost a child? Or people who have lost their spouse? Or a child who loses their parent? 

At this point her grief has become less about her father and more about her. Her treating grief like it's some sort of contest that can be won by who is grieving more for a more important person is ridiculous and disgusting.

So do I.  It was John's 85 year old sister who died last week.

It was so nice today for Meegun to be absent when Jeff Goldblum was at the table. She may have screeched herself hoarse during the previous segments.  It would be good if TPTB pulled her from the stage whenever she talks 2X more than her cohosts.  And she says she will be off Magnitskying (not fired nor abducted by aliens) for the rest of the week !!!

I wonder if Meghan watches This Is Us.  On tonight's episode, the character played by Jennifer Morrison says something to Kevin about her father that indicates he served in the military.  Kevin says, "I didn't know your father was in the military", to which she replies, "Not all of us talk about our dead dad all the time".  I  immediately thought of Meghan and just had to laugh.

Eek. I’m one who’s no fan of hers but has defended her now and then when it comes to her father just because I know I’d be a mess if I lost mine. Even if he’s not an “American icon.” She should have really known better than to have tweeted that.

The actual video isn't bad, really, but oh my hell in the gif she looks like a grumpy drunk who is close to passing out and can hardly lift herself off the table. LOL.

I never noticed before how jerky her movements are, how stiff and brittle her body gets sometimes.

Why do they keep interviewing her?

From the article

“I think a lot of ‘The View’ viewers think that I’m just this like ice queen, steel b**ch, that’s like shooting guns and drinking and being crazy,” she says.
