It's crazy how curated the news environment is. Most people really live in a different reality.
When the love of my life died a few weeks ago (sudden catastrophic health thing in an otherwise incredibly healthy person, pureblood BTW), I did a bit on online digging on how to handle grief of a spouse's sudden death.
Easily 1/3 of the online pieces that talked about "how to re-establish daily routines" suggested --going to sleep with the TV or Palm Slab on --going to sleep with the TV or Palm Slab tuned to NEWS
Familiar faces and voices.
I was so horrified I haven't looked up anything online about grief since. And these sites were written by psychologists, counselors, ministers, "mental health professionals," etc., who were literally telling hurting, aching, lost, disoriented people...to replace their spouse with the f'in godbox and its Current Events Horror Porn.
I am sorry for your loss.
