There is a theory that the reason people get so upset about unexpected deaths is because they despise the feeling of not having any degree of control over the situation, they hate to think that they were unable to prevent it from happening. It is in human nature to despise feeling powerless, which is exactly how an unexpected death makes one feel.
Some young people today live by the belief that grieving is redundant when they had no control over the outcome in the first place; they even express contempt for those who don't follow their line of thinking. They react in this way even if a close loved one is lost. It is quite a radical way of thinking but these people are generally able to move on from a loss very quickly. Make of that what you will.
That would be my advice to the topic creator - think about that control theory. Death is never a good thing but that's not to say we can't find new ways of thinking that soften the blow.
