RE: One tragic story brought by an unusual big flood to our family because my grandfather died and his body never was recovered
I assume if there's no bond there's less to worry about or to feel sorry about, which is normal. I have a family member, too I mainly know by name and only met during my youth. I don't feel sorry if they die, I will not ask myself if I should have visited them (more often). I can imagine that your dead would like to know what happened to him. As long as no body is found, one keeps wondering.
We got affected financially because my father sent money to my uncle to make a recovery team for my grandfather's body but my father didn't told my mother that, he just told my mother to scrimp and save what little money he is sending my mother. I only learned about it after my father visited my grandmother and I was with him with my sister. I heard my father and my uncle talking about that recovery mission which didn't yield anything.
So the body of my grandfather was in some place we do not know about now under the river up in their province. I missed him even though we are not close because I grew up not being around him.
