There are two events that if I wanted to I could attend almost every night of the week and they are shiva and singles events, not necessarily in that order. I am not sure why that is, but trust me it is. I am sure that there are gold diggers who pay shiva calls to find shidduchim. Shiva houses are full of lonely people . Death makes people want to strengthen interpersonal relationships because one never knows just how long one has on this earth so its imperative to pair up as soon as you leave the mourners home.
Singles events can sometimes make one feel as somber as a house full of mourners. They can certainly be depressing. Not unlike avelus. Singles events can definitely make one contemplate life and how one is afraid one may have to live life singularly , without a spouse because these singles events can make the possibility of finding a spouse seem so bleak.
Singles events and shiva go together like egg whites and yolk.

Which is the egg; and which one is the yolk?
"Death makes people want to strengthen interpersonal relationships because one never knows just how long one has on this earth".
Huh? How about wanting to strengthen your commitment to Hashem, with mitzvot behiddur, or learning more ... unless by "relationships" you meant "doing good deeds".
Point is, you want to strengthen that which can contribute to your "bottom line" in the world of truth!
Vanguard- i am assuming you have never experienced loss of a relative. Relationships with people are vital in life. If they were not there would no mourning period. Hashem knows his. Aparently you do not.
