The old dog, the vet and the hardest goodbye, sentence 4

Afterwards people grieve in their own ways: Dad may cry in the car, Grandad may go quiet and busy himself on the farm, and Megan may laugh at a film a week later and then feel bad, but laughing does not mean she has forgotten.

Who acts: people, Dad, Grandad, Megan, laughing · What happens: grieve, cry, go, laugh, feel, not mean · To what, where: own ways, car, farm, film · Speech: someone speaks here
