DY: No. You’re missing the point. Yes, it’s about Aveilus. And yes, it’s about what we feel during this time. But how we show what we feel is defined by Halachah, not the other way around. Stopping the Halachic process because of emotion is wrong and antithetical to Torah. Just like stopping the Halachic process because of emotions of sympathy towards women, homosexuals, etc. who feel unwelcome is.
