And I'm disgusted by insensitive comments I see , they wouldn't like it if people ridiculed their grieving process .

Agreed, I coped really well after the initial shock and funeral but then about 12 months later I was a wreck. I lost mum 3 years ago last week and even now, the grief is raw and sneaks up on me at times. We are adept, as humans, at developing coping mechanisms, for me it was work and my son, but then out of the blue grief smacks you in the face, particularly in times of stress. Alex and Debbie have both been criticized for mentioning lost lives ones but as both of the people they lost were in the public eye, its pretty understandable
