I understand what you are saying but everybody handles grieving differently. I know someone who lost a father that he had a close relationship with and he also reacted by doing a lot of work and running errands. He was trying to "stay busy". Probably a defense mechanism against going into a depression. Judging by Reid's blow up tonight- it looks to me like he is still dealing with his loss.

Honestly I don't understand that either. He should take a week or two off and be with his family. To me that's kind of strange. But I guess that's the life of an NFL coach.

Sometimes people draw strength from doing their work.
And its likely that outside of his family the people he can turn to for support are his staff and players.

Either way its a tough situation.
