What happens in a human body/brain when someone close dies? [Details inside].

Asked by rebbel (35549points) December 19th, 2011

Probably all of us have the unfortunate experience of losing a family member/friend/pet.
In the hours and days after the death we (can) feel dazed or numb.
As if we are not part of this world/life.
Is there a certain stuff that the body or brain produces to make us feel this way?
Is this state happening for a reason; to protect us from something?
