The 'Disneyfication' of Grief the Disneyfication of grief The Disneyfication of Grief

Kathy Shadie warns against the Disneyfication of grief.


Please don't indulge in godless modern paganism and set up homely, self-indulgent makeshift memorials with cheap flowers and teddy bears. Don't hold hands and sing bad pop songs.


Go to church. That's what it's for. For centuries, people smarter than you and with more finely honed aesthetics worked on rituals that actually do what they're supposed to do.

She's right.
