Why do we have negative emotions such as grief for passed away relatives, friends etc?
How did they emerge evolutionarily? Or it's just side effect of empathy?

Mass hypnosis.

Certain mGLU genes/receptors can be knocked out in mice to remove them. Haven't looked into it in awhile. If enough people act really stinky I'll get evidence

Because we held them dear and now are no longer with us.

Quoted By:

Perhaps grief draws other members of the society closer to the individual, who then show sympathy for the grieving individual. Perhaps providing food + shelter etc. in the situation where a provider has been lost. Thus in this way the grief-stricken individual may increase their chances of survival over those who do not display such 'socially cohesive' grief. Just a guess.

we are a social species, i'm sure you will agree. the drive to seek out and maintain social connections is a major influence on our behavior. people suffer when their social connections are made unavailable. death is one way to make a social connection unavailable, which causes distress. moreover it's permanent, meaning there is no chance for future interactions, and the surviving experience hopelessness at their inability to influence the situation. of course it rips people up

Maybe it is different for different kinds of loss. Parent, child, spouse, friend, etc.
