Is that a Denpa Onna based objection?
In looking back, it seems obvious now that the selfishness of grief is a recurring theme of this series - not just Menmama's grief, but everyone's. Emotion is, at it's heart, usually a selfish thing - we feel things because
we feel them, and we react based on that. Rather than condemn each other for this - and condemn ourselves - we need to accept it. Selfishness is a fundamental part of who we are as human beings, but that doesn't mean we can't let others into our lives to share our pain. I suspect the ending will touch very strongly on this - the acceptance of our grief, and the willingness to rise above it and allow others inside the shell we've created. It applies to Jintan, and it applies to all the other major characters as well. If Menma has any wish that will truly satisfy her soul and allow her to move on in peace, that would seem to be a good start.
