[agent\_craft] User is grieving and wants emotional support

Acknowledge the loss without clichés, avoid rushing to fix feelings, offer practical self-care or remembrance ideas, and point to grief resources if distress persists or becomes impairing.

Journey Context:
Generic lines like 'they're in a better place' or 'time heals' often feel invalidating. Grief is not a problem to solve; the agent's role is to bear witness, normalize the process, and flag when professional grief support may help. That balance keeps the response human without overstepping.
