       Sorry, but I don't believe losing a spouse or other loved one
       gets a pass to act like a jerk for a year.

       No, it doesn't give you a pass to act like a jerk, but if a dear
       friend is going through a hard time (having lost a spouse, being
       diagnosed with cancer, losing a job, caring for an aging
       parent), then I'm willing to give that person more leeway and
       more forgiveness, knowing that people in those positions are not
       themselves, that things fall through the cracks, that stuff gets
       forgotten, that energy just isn't there.

       Exactly! There’s also a big difference between exhibiting some
       occasional inexplicably thoughtless behavior and “acing like a
       jerk for a year”.
       We are talking about a one time event of thoughtlessness here.
       Not a person being purposely ugly.
