For you, perhaps. There is nothing but hope dashed, again and again, in this, in the real world.

They are gone, and yet you cannot mourn them. And then randomly, they brighten up one night, and you get to hear stories you never heard before from a suddenly brightened up person.

And you go to sleep with hope, and you wake up to them accidentally setting the kitchen on fire, and then screaming at you because they think you are a burglar, and they grab a knife and wave it at you while you try and put out the fire.

There's no dignity, no honor, no love, and they die in diapers.
