It doesn't make sense to me.

I've know different people who have coped with their grief by keeping busy. If someone is a "workaholic", that's going to be how they cope. The hardest time for most people is after the funeral of their loved one. Before and during there are arrangements to be made, family and friends present to keep one occupied. I don't find this all that unusual. Might not be how I'd cope. But not unusual for many people.
