She has done nothing but bitch and complain, I mean I get it, but also if this happened to literally anyone I think they would have at least a few weeks of joyriding, she went straight to grief.

Edit: I suppose I should note that she didn't seem super happy before that happened either so maybe that's it.

She just lost her spouse in a traumatic way in front of her own eyes. Imagine you lost yours and the same day you get a free trip to a luxury resort. Would you be happy and actively go around trying out all the amenities?

Also you are right that she seems to have always been grumpy and not as adventurous as her spouse.

Well she did just lose the love of her life, and clearly the one keeping Carol from the deep end. So I could understand her not suddenly taking advantage of this situation.

I mean different people handle those situations differently, and I guess it would be a little cliche to show all the things a person would do if they were the only one left in the world, you could probably make a whole show of that alone.

I mean it's been shown she's always been a miserable person even before the event, so her acting this way makes sense. She is literally the most miserable/drunk person on the planet right now.

I suppose that's true and I thought about that a bit more for my edit, she seems like a real Karen.
