why does it seem like a company will go out of their way to get you lots of time off for a death in the family but could care less about assisting you getting lots of time off for visiting someone while they are alive?
even the gov has a thing where people can donate or sell thier vacation days to someone if they have a family emergency, like a death in the family.
my work here gives one week a year vacation to full time employees, no exceptions, not even not getting paid type vacation. but for family emergencies they will grant up to one month, not paid of course.
seems kind of strange, i would think the opposite would be true, have as much time as possible to spend with someone while they are alive.

It's a productivity issue. How much time should you give off for visits when you can't know how much time that will take. And why keep someone at work who is distressed over a loss, they won't get any meaningful work done anyway.
