If you're a young developer at Apple you have no idea how hard this feedback hits.
So many of your points-of-view change after the first death in the immediate family. That's not likely to happen until your fifties or sixties.
The memorials on our devices are important: I have a weekly reminder to “Check in on mom” that will never be removed because it has a whole new purpose since her death.

I like this idea from Louie Mantia - Apple should establish a team that deals with the humanity of their products.
Apple is awesome at accessibility - there's a dedicated team at the company that deals with the wide range of human capabilities.
Apple is awesome at privacy - same thing.
Apple should be awesome at preserving and respecting the memories contained in devices that are inextricably linked to our daily lives and the interactions with people we love.
