Instead of just saying their grandparent died, they will instead say what a great person they were and how much they will be missed. The addition of another button only complicates things. You know, as opposed to: "Me and my baby have been together for 3 months now"... and someone clicking sympathize when they meant like.... and the following shitstorm that would ensue.
