I guess it's how we grew up. I've never really seen death as something very sad, while divorce is a painful splitting of what should never be split.

Closest thing to divorce I've ever experienced is never having met my biological father, and I've never experienced a death of someone terribly close. I just see it as death being a permanent and final goodbye on this Earth, whereas divorce only means the end of something special that may rock their relationships with others, but isn't anything absolutely, positively final for everyone.
