The thing I always try to remember about Elves and death is how unnatural it is to them. For us, we expect to bury a parent. Sure, the time and method of their going can add additional trauma, but there is an expectation you will see your parents die. But when it's a child, or a younger sibling, or someone you had expected to outlive you, there's this sense of wrongness that makes the grief that much worse. I imagine for Elves, all deaths feel that way--that this was a mistake, this shouldn't have happened, this isn't fair, it wasn't supposed to be this way.
Also, Valinor's first murder! I'd bet many of them have never even seen a dead Elf before.
