Why are some people so brutally blunt and insensitive about death of loved ones?

My mom got killed by a drunk driver last Wednesday so four days ago and I AM DEVASTATED. My dad is heartbroken and so are my brothers. My close friend bluntly told me, "Look everyone DIES ok?! People die so there's no reason for you to be sad! You can't be sad all the time. We're ALL going to die and she is dead. Get a grip, put your big girl panties on and move on. Sorry, but there is no point of being sad all the time about your dead mommy."
My guy friend said, "Look once someone is dead, their dead. Can't wish for them to come back. Besides your mom won't wanna come back. I don't mean to sound harsh but who wants to go back and suffer? Stop crying, you're 31. You don't need mommy anymore. Buck up will you?" And shoved me hard and stormed off. I MISS THE HELL OUTTA MOM. My dad said, "In heartbroken but we still gotta keep going. No use to walk around depressed. She isn't coming back."
My dad wasn't mean but why were the others mean?! I laid in bed all weekend.

Well. I have my doubts about this post, honestly. I don’t feel that someone would actually do that. But I’m not really here to judge the legitimacy of your post. If it did actually happen I can say this:
They don’t have to feel it, it hasn’t affected them the way it has you. Yeah, you have to move on, but in your own time. You’re allowed to grieve. Telling you that you’re not is ridiculous, and it’s basically what he did here. It could also be possible that person is feeling anger from someone he was grieving at one point in time. I’m not excusing his behavior by any means, just a thought. Especially if he shoved you and got mad about it.
Everyone grieves differently. You are no exception. Grieve however you need to.
