yes, but this show covers a very short amount of time in one season, and you can't expect the characters waste 2 entire seasons mourning and suffering.. death strikes you hard, but it gets boring to write and watch.. It happens on every show.. besides, if you make the characters hold on to dead, there's a pretty strong chance they'll become annoying. Allison in season 2 after her mom died, Kate on Angel after her dad died, Alex on Nikita at some point.. So making people holding on to the dead - yes, makes them look kind of apathethic or impassive, but the alternative is much worse.
