17-year-old takes grieving mom for birthday dinner, leaves restaurant when she berates the server: 'The waitress was crying'

Some people handle grief in the most unexpected of ways.

Losing somebody close to us is one of the ultimate experiences where we cannot truly understand what it feels like until it happens, and even then. sometimes, the grieving struggle to identify their feelings. While it is an inevitable part of life, that doesn't make it any less difficult—especially when the loss is unexpected. 

Still, there is little excuse for aggressive behavior even when enduring the pain that comes with losing a loved one. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience anger and lash out while they are mourning, but sometimes this can go an extreme that is unacceptable. Those around them suffer for it, and things can become even more of a struggle when they feel like they have responsibility for cleaning up the mess. It is not a pleasant thing to go through for anybody involved.
