I agree with darth.
Hope's reaction to his mother's death throughout FFXIII is more than justified and is actually toned down because he could have been far more sad/depressed and it would've still been justified.
Some people (in real life) are more destroyed than Hope was because of a simple love affair going wrong.
FFXIII happens on a timeline of 2 weeks. 2 weeks are not enough for one to mourn especially with all the stuff happening in these 2 weeks.
