That's an interesting point, though I think it would have to be if and only if all grief is positive. For example, if grief is 99% positive but 1% negative (negative being more pain than gain) then there's positive value. For someone about to die, I think any grief is probably negative. Any personal growth or development won't be utilized. I think of it kind of like morphine, if you're dying it's fine to keep it flowing even if you are getting seriously addicted to it
