I only needed to watch the first few seconds of the video to know the man was faking. When you lose a child—especially so suddenly—you don’t laugh for months, years. The man should appear as if in a trance, stunned, in shock. It should be difficult to utter even a few words. This is absolutely incredible.

BS!

People during times of grief and duress and the unexpected loss of a loved one, a child or a parent, spouse, etc. one sometimes find moments of humor and even levity even in their grief. People deal with loss and tragedy in many different ways. Saying that someone who experiences such a loss shouldn’t smile or laugh for years and that anyone who does is not sincere, is simply ridiculous.

Did you even watch the video? The man comes out laughing and swaggering like he hasn't a care in the world. Then somebody says something to him, he says "Okay," and he starts acting the part of the tragic father. Not a bad acting job, but there's still that happy-go-lucky entrance that gives the lie to his act.

As for what you said about finding humor and levity in one's grief, that may happen when a parent or adult who has been dying for a long time finally dies. But for someone whose life has been shattered by the death of a young child, there is no laughter for a very long time.
