I think this is very common. When people die, I think it's really normal to idealize them and put them on a pedistel they never could have inhabited while alive. And I think we do this with all lost relationships, whether they died or not. When you break up, when you lose a friend, when life takes you away from others...they're all losses and I think we all respond by elevating those we lost to maintain happy memories of them.
