There are some unique oddities that are annoying, however...

If one is a Buddhist (or atheist, or non-theist):

I really, really don't think they have the power to influence where the dead go after life, especially to their imaginary celestial kingdoms. So why pick a fight over something so inconsequential?

If she (whatever that may be) died 8-9 months ago, she has necessarily moved on. Kind of a moot point.

Remember her with a peaceful and loving heart.
