No fixed morality sure but doesn't that mean that you can't declare grief to be selfish?

And I can't accept that grief is entirely selfish especially in the immediate aftermath of a loved ones loss. I'm not saying grief can't be selfish, I just don't accept it always is which seems to be the implication of your post.
