Dolfinwolf,
Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. Having a family member pass is already stressful enough, compounding it with PCS and, yeah, it can bring on symptoms, but they are temporary. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago.
I used to get symptoms with stress all the time soon after my concussion and surgery, but 2 years later with healing, patience, healing and more patience, I have noticed that the same situations don't cause relapse, and my brain has healed in it's ability to weather almost all except high stress situations.

May 31, 2009: Concussion from syncope due to low blood volume resulting from severe dehydration. Occurred after finishing my 9th marathon. 100% of symptoms cleared by August 2009.
December 15, 2009: Major surgery due to diverticulitis. 6 weeks after surgery, dizziness, fog, cognitive difficulty, anxiety, some panic, lots of headache. These symptoms largely gone, but still cannot exercise above a very low threshold otherwise resulting in severe headache and cognitive fog. Same for overwhelming odors.
Meds: Nortriptyline and Naratriptan as needed to rid severe headaches (exertional migraines).
