All of those. The loss of a loved of a child is one of the worst things one can experience.
Everyone reacts differently. Some with rage some with depression. Most people will denie.
I saw a video once about a mother going all the way to a base to pick up her son.
That was in another Russian war, probably Afghanistan.
