When my grandmother died, I was an atheist then, that was a little over three years ago, and I remember struggling with trying to process my emotions and grief, without offering it up in prayer, or whatever. She was very special to me, like ...really special, and that is when I started seeking answers again, and didn't feel ''comfortable'' in my atheism. But, I have quite a few friends who are atheists offline, and some are emotionally strong, others, not so much. I don't know if blanket statements on either side, make sense.
People who make blanket statements are assholes . . . every one of them.
