What is the exact meaning of the line, “No closure. That word should be stricken from the English language"?

I’m a little bit hesitant to post this question in view of the gravity and seriousness of the matter to those who are directly involved with the 9/11 tragedies. But as a newspaper reader, I would like to understand the exact meaning of the words delivered by the mother of a firefighter who died on duty in the 9/11 attacks, when she learned that Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S Military forces on May 1st.

She said:

I cried. I took a look up at the sky and said 'They got him!' Now the day has come, and it's a mixed emotion. It's sad; it's triumphant. I feel absolutely fantastic. I hope it brings some comfort to the families. No closure. That word should be stricken from the English language.

Could you explain to me the line - “No closure. That word should be stricken from the English language,” so that a non-native English speaker can understand it?

Solution 1:

I think you're referring to this article. It helps if you look at the paragraph before it and the paragraph after it. The paragraph before it:

For nearly 10 years, Lee Ielpi, 66, of Great Neck, N.Y., had anticipated the day Bin Laden would be caught or killed. His son, Jonathan, a firefighter from Queens, had called him on 9/11 to say he was on his way to the trade center, and never came back. Mr. Ielpi went to the site on Monday and spoke of a flood of emotions at learning the terrorist had been slain.

the paragraph after it:

Nearby, John Cartier, a Queens electrician whose brother, James, also an electrician, had died on the 105th floor of the south tower, was skeptical about another overused word. “Justice is a politician’s word,” he said. “It’s all about revenge for me.”

So in the context of the whole article and these paragraphs, my guess is that what the speaker is trying to say is that "closure" (like the word "justice") shouldn't be simply words that people speak but actually something that needs to carried out. For those families who actually suffered, the implication might be, is that using those words ("closure", "justice") might actually do the opposite - it doesn't bring them any closure in the real sense of the word and the fact that it took almost 10 years to track down Osama might not be justice.

Solution 2:

It means that the speaker does not feel closure, and that she does not believe in it as a concept. Literally, she wants the word removed from the language so that no-one can refer to the concept.
