People who have just experienced a loss that they did not expect don't ever act as we might thig they would. And this "craziness may last for some time". I do not know how much after his wifes death this interview was but I can tell what stage of grief he was in by what he said and he has several steps to go to be normal again. You absolutely cannot judge a person in grief. Some people may say they even killed someone when they had noting to do with it. For example they went to the store to get beer and when they got back a person had a stroke and died. They belive they killed them because they did not approve of them drinking beer and besides they have some magical thinking that if they had been there it would not have happened. From what I read on the interview, he acted like any normal person in grief and nothing more. And it is not unusual for people to get the feeling that something is wrong and it turns out to be true. Some kinds of vibes. Some people never get them, but some very definately do. Yes some people get scared when someone does not answer the phone when they usually do. It happened to me just the other day. I was in the shower and let the phone ring and ring. So since they let it ring so long my daughter got upset, called my other daughter who was in the process of getting in her car and driving over. I just did not want to get out of the shower all soapy and every ring I thought would be the last one.
