So far as this guy in the tale didn't have ailing family to take care of, it's not as if he would have hurt anybody by leaving rotting corpses in their deathbeds. I'd charge the Son of God with perhaps being insensitive. The man who came to Jesus was there for his parents when they died, wasn't he? Besides, the story's probably been mythicized. Was this guy so unlucky that both of his parents died at the same time?
Of course, this is not addressed to anyone with actual deceased family members.
