When Sarah died, Abraham mourned and wept, but after a while, he wiped his tears and approached the elders of the Hittites to discuss the procurement of a landed property for burial purposes. There are people who become unconsolable and refuse to leave dead bodies behind in order to attend to more pressing matters. Certain things like inheritance & legacy are more important than burial. Even Jesus said, "Let the dead bury their dead." We must learn to accept irrevocable losses and move on, so we don't end up losing more than has been lost.
