And your point?

There are people who have lost loved ones decades ago and still have yet to recover. Everyone grieves in their own way. Try as one might, just simply trying to move on does not work for many people.

Sisters, die every day why wait 3 years to start mourning?

The point is that he's been in mourning for the whole three years and hasn't been able to get past it. He tried to deal with it by continuing with life as usual - where life as usual meant the demanding, high-pressure life of a college basketball player at a major program. It didn't work, so he's trying something different.

And don't forget how young he was when this happened - he could have still been in high school - and that she was driving to see him play, so he may be dealing with some irrational but perfectly natural and understandable guilt.

The decent thing to do would have been not to make this a thread.

I lost both of my parents and didn't miss a years work get over it. Say a prayer and move on. This kid must be mentally soft.

Everyone deals with death differently.
