The emotional side is barely controllable and personally I find it a mistake to try too hard to limit or bargain with ones own emotions. So that leaves the physical and there one can have impact and some small measure of control.

My late spouse was an RN Practioner present at the passing of over 300 patients. An enormously strong person who helped many deal with heartbreak and loss. It helps to have someone outside of a grieving family's emotional cluster who therefor does not bring their own grief into the process. My thanks to you again.
