For the people closest to us, it's withdrawal - our loved ones create a chemical response in us and grieving begins in the absence of that specific stimuli. What I've noticed about wakes is that grieving is ameliorated by people sharing experiences about the deceased, recreating the feeling we get from their presence.
This is different than mourning, which is a learned and/or intellectual response to the death of a person you know, and can take whatever form the surrounding culture takes, be it sadness, celebration, or chopping the person up and feeding them to large carrion birds.
Just my thoughts. It doesn't come up often, as the Browns are darn near immortal (everyone makes 100, easy).
