Why public narratives about death can feel wrong to those who actually knew the person

My son died in the military and people keep calling him a hero but he was just scared and twenty and I want to scream when they use those words.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective meanings imposed on individual deaths can alienate grievers from their private knowledge of who the person really was.
