Grief, especially if it’s an unexpected death, is so weird. It’s like a low-grade psychosis where their response is coming from such a fucked up place that it doesn’t match reality. They’ll torture brain-dead relatives to try to bring them back, show up to emergency with obviously dead children as if they aren’t, either become hysterically depressive or have some gallows humour kind of response like this. Too much seeing the human instead of the patient.
