her father is still alive--her brother is the one who died. but that said, what you suggested could very well be the case--the emotions that you go through when hearing tragic news about the death of a loved one, for example.. or perhaps the equally soul-shaking news of someone (a lover or best friend) deciding that they no longer want anything to do with you.

I always looked at it as a woman who is being forced to leave her home for whatever reason.. standing outside of her house and just sitting for hours, trying to rationalize what's happened before actually getting up and leaving.
