can you honestly say that the grief/supprise/actual real life horror of discovering the body of someone you love is just "not much" worse than being told they're dead, where you're not alone and not knowing what to do?
Having to check for a pulse
Having to phone 999 and not knowing if you should be calling for an ambulence or not as they're actually dead
Having to wait for the police to turn up and eventually a coriner, who will check the crime scene and only then take the body away
Assuming that we're talking about a place that's part of your day to day life, having that place perminatly be "the place where you found the body" rahter than whatever previous memories were there
