I'm sorry, but that is true. Grief is an emotional stress on the body, which does trigger the fight or flight response, and during that time chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol are released. These chemicals alter the brain so that it can function "better" in order to percieve threats and survive, but can and do damage the brain in the process. Distress causes irrational behavior because the fight-or-flight response impairs the prefrontal lobe, amygdala, and hippocampus, limiting a victim's ability to process emotion, memories, and logic.
