I envy him not being American. Our culture is such a "worker bee" culture, and there is no law requiring employers to give time off for bereavement. If they give it at all, it might just be a couple of days..which isn't enough to fly out of state and back if one has to do that.
And if they do offer it, they limit it to specific relationships. Like maybe parents but not an aunt/uncle. Loss is loss.
And on leave, no paid leave for time off for taking care of a newborn, an ill parent, etc. It's like life doesn't exist outside of your job. Your life IS your job.
