On Losing One's Wife

My sister TIB's mother-in-law passed away a few weeks ago. The mother-in-law's husband did not attend the calling hours, the funeral mass, or the luncheon afterward. They had been married for over 50 years. This guy has always been a jerk, but I thought not attending your own wife's funeral was taking it a bit far. Of course everyone said, "Oh, he's grieving", and I guess I understand that in a way, but I think he could go and grieve at the funeral.
This past Saturday, he had a stroke.
