If I am voluntarily bearing the burden I would like bear it for someone who is suffering the most in the world. Bearing it for someone who happened to apply for job at the same company doesn't make any sense. If you have food on your plate and live in a first world country on a 6 week paid bereavment leave then you aren't even in the vicinity of suffering, like not even close. Only framing I can think of is that I would like to have privileges applied to me if same thing happens to me. This is much more selfish and sensible way to look at it.
