Answer by Kmmv
it all depends on the person and whether or not they have worked through the stages of grief. The loss of someone can be very traumatic especially if they’ve never experienced it and they were close to the person that was lost. here is more detail on the stages:\

Their lives can be painful until they move to the fifth stage – acceptance.
