Charley Pride's Son Says His Death Is Still 'So Fresh'

Recently, Charley Pride's son, Dion Pride, reflected on the passing of his father and said that the grieving process has been rough. Dion said, "You know, we're still grieving. It's a little tough to have any kind of celebration right now because it's still so fresh." He continued, "The [concerts I perform] are part his songs and part mine, and it's just overwhelming how many people he's touched with his music." He added, "Not just with his music, but as a person, too. That's the part of him that I always like to stress: What a great human being my father was. What a great man." Why do you find it harder to grieve over the loss of a pet versus a human?
