People are naturally curious. The first question when bad news is given is "what happened?" There are times this is the last question wanted to be heard.
When we lose someone in our life - whether to the hand of God, at the hand of someone else or to his/her own hand - we have to deal with the result - a missing part of our life. We don't want to live the events over and over. We want to deal with our emotions, our loss, our memories. The friends and family around us mean well when they ask questions. Rather than asking "what happened" we'd rather be asked "do you remember.......?"
Relive the good memories, not the event.
