Again, I think selfishness is not something to criticize here, but largely the point. They're all being selfish in different ways - grief makes us selfish. Accept that and don't deny it - understand it and forgive it and it can help you move on. Every one of these characters is primarily concerned with themselves, not with Menma - even an innocent like Satoshi sees this largely through the impact it's had on him.

The one possible exception I would make to that is Poppo, who seems most genuinely concerned with the group and with Menma's spiritual health. But he has his demons, too, and while they haven't been exposed like the others the series isn't quite over yet.
