Friends make pretence of following to the grave but before one is in it, their minds are turned and making the best of their way back to life and living people and things they understand.

Summary

This quote suggests that while friends might initially pretend to grieve and show loyalty until the end, their true intentions become evident when confronted with death. Instead of staying committed to the deceased, they quickly shift their focus back to the realm of the living, seeking comfort in familiar relationships and familiar things. It highlights the human tendency to prioritize the living and the understandable, rather than dwelling in the realm of the unknown and the deceased.
