I think you didn't get my point. I have one of my grandfathers, two of my aunts and one cousin that passed away, and none of the experiences is nice. I hated crying a week in my bedroom thinking of my cousin. But it is what it is, and here's when I agree w/ Hazzy, we have to move on, because you won't be sitting for months and months crying. (even though some people do).
And about the funerals, I do hate them, because they only show desperation and sadness, and the only thing they provoke are more loneliness to the ones who loved the person that passed away (oh, and I don't want to go further into funerals I've attended where you see people that don't really care about the dead one and are there just to fake sadness and pretend they are concerned).
