yeah, I wasn't making a point about the right way to grieve
I tend to agree, and think it's a bummer no matter which way you slice it, if it's someone (or some cat) you'd rather were still around
It's more about the pretensions to rationality of the video, and with quite a few people I've encountered who seem to think their atheism conveys some sort of intellectual gravitas on themselves. Putting deism to one side, I commonly find they still seem to accept a lot of other nebulous concepts with likewise little evidence to commend them other than it would be comforting if they were true

Death doesn't bother me as much as the suffering of the living.
Many people will accept almost any explanation that relieves them of the burden of loss.
