They feel pain and distress at the time of separation, but do not have a prolonged period of mourning. It's not viewed as a normal thing to do.

A close friend of mine, when his Grandfather died, he had to shave his hair and eyebrows for the "burial". At the death of the elder of the family, since he is the oldest of the 3rd generation, he, at the sametime, becomes a monk at the ceremony. From now on, anytime anyone in the family dies, he is the one that brings the ceremonies toghether.
His father still has a hard time getting past his fathers death. So yea, they mourne. And coincidenlly, their 1 year "celebration" is today.
