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.

Along the same lines as courtroom testimony - attorneys often give instruction to juries that trauma/grief can make people act in ways contrary to what society views as “proper.”

I would agree with the grief is weird faction, if it weren’t for the lei. What the hell is up with that? Maybe it’s that I’ve never had a relative die in a photographable state, but every inch of the vibes feel disrespectful

I’m not going to psychologize a person going through grief due to a dying spouse.
