Ah Jesus how high mighty do you have to be to be above grieving losing a loved one. Funerals are a celebration of someone's life, it's like one of the opening lines of every funeral I've been to.

It doesn't matter the age, if the person was important to you their absence can impact you emotionally.

Get yourself checked.

Check your reading comprehension and try again.

That someone completed their full life is a cause for celebrating their life, not grieving their death.

Lamenting someone's early death is also appropriate.

Having had a number of experience of both... I'm fine.

How high and mighty doyou have to be?

Shitty people gotta show off how sad they are

That says enough for me, however you defend it being sad at the loss of someone you cared about is justifiable and not shitty regardless of their age...or being in "the west"

In the light of another day, that was uncool of me.

Everyone is right to grieve their own way.

Fair enough, I appreciate you not becoming entrenched in your position.
