Grief is a reaction when someone or something loses something personal. This is usually when someone loses something living that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed.

Human bonding is the process of becoming close or having a close relationship between two or more people. It most commonly takes place between family members or friends, but can also happen between groups, such as sports teams. Bonding usually means becoming attached to romantic partners, close friends, or parents and children. This bond can be seen through emotions such as affection and trust.
Affection or fondness is an act or feeling of love or friendship. Reactions to affection can be different ranging from happiness, embarrassment, disgust, and annoyance. It also has a different physical effect on the giver and the receiver.
Amusement is the reaction of having fun or seeing something entertaining. The person or animal who is amused can go through enjoyment, happiness, laughter and pleasure. It is an emotion with a positive effect.
Distraction is the process of trying to change or get the attention of an individual or group from one area to another.  This is done so that people can move from one place to another without the target noticing the person. Distraction in humans is caused by: the lack of ability to pay attention; lack of interest in the object of attention; or the great intensity, novelty or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention. Any behaviour which is human has its origin in the deep past. One principle is that animals adapt to regular features of their environment. So most animals learn their environment in detail. This reduces the chance of their being surprised. A standard observation is that a predator moves when its target is distracted. Behaviours related to this are strongly inherited. When discovery is almost certain, prey may drop body parts (for example, their tail), play possum (play dead) or just run away. Some lizard tails are programmed to wriggle a bit when they are dropped.
Attention is when we point our sight and thought on a particular thing. It is the behavioral and cognitive process of concentrating on a specific piece of information. Attention has also been described as the way we make use of limited cognitive processing resources.

The Dalai Lama spoke about this:  "When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, "Oh yes—I already have everything that I really need." If someone slips into total dissatisfaction, they might experience anguish. A person is more likely to be happy and satisfied if they learn how to control their negative experiences and to process positive thoughts. Usually, a person does not share their satisfaction with other people. That is called pride.  Satisfaction, like all emotions, is a motivator of behavior.
