Yeah, I don't feel like the OP deserves to be put on blast ("you must not have anyone close in your life", really guys?) when nothing in Stellary's notes appear to be a person grieving and asking for some patience. All it looks like is someone using a tragic event to guilt her commissioner into getting off her back.

Sorry, I'm pretty sympathetic to loss but I don't believe people should be guilted into having feelings for something that isn't personal to them especially when, in this instance, Stellary *was taking more commissions while using her dad's death to get out of previous obligations*. I can't stress that enough.
