The way of parting has a lot to do with the pain that the loss generates.
A person who falls ill, who goes through the illness with a medical procedure that represents few advances, who suffers from ailments, depression, apathy and, sometimes, rebels against treatment, awakens in those close to him a feeling of empathy, mercy, pain and suffering that leads them, even, to wish or ask that he not continue suffering, that he rest; which means preferring that his will ends early to allow the person to rest.
In these cases, the death of the patient is seen as a relief, as an act of justice, of mercy on the part of the creator - if they have these beliefs. In this way, although the departure hurts, there is a state of conformity. Grief - as its name indicates - is painful, but it has the possibility of flowing healthily until it reaches its resolution.
In another scenario, there are sudden, unexpected deaths that, for the same reason, generate an intense and lasting psychological impact, emotional pain, resistance to acceptance, probable unfounded feelings of guilt, difficult, very painful and extensive grieving processes.
COVID-19 deaths fall into this category. People die without any illness or history that could indicate an underlying condition. These are unexpected deaths and there is no preparation for them. The affected person often dies alone in the hospital. There was no time to talk, to thank, to say goodbye, and this causes a lot of pain. It was not possible to perform the rituals that are usually performed at the end of a life.
