Salem's reaction to the death of a loved one isn't normal, though I guess it makes sense considering she spent most of her life locked up in a tower. I don't get why you don't understand the Five Stages of Grief? She was in Denial that he was gone forever She was angry that Ozma had been taken from her She tried to bargain with the Gods, then with the rulers She became depressed enough to try and commit suicide repeatedly

Her reaction is entirely natural for a human living in a world of gods and magic. Its human nature to try and get back what was once lost. ​ The Five Stages isn't a super exact or accurate model, and besides, you didn't see other humans begging as much if at all, and when she was refused, she didn't just back off and try to live her life but instead kept demanding. Even the God of Darkness chastised her for this. In addition, she possessed little to no self-awareness and felt no remorse for her part in the genocide and never accepted her own fault in it.
