Sorry if that sounds like rank heresy, but really.
No, it's not heresy, it's perfectly understandable.
However, miles are assets, like bank accounts, property, personal items, pets and the like. These all have to be dealt with at a most difficult time, so this is just one extra item. And the accrued value of an individual's miles and points accrued in several programmes over several years is not to be sniffed at.
