R' Tzvi Kunstlinger Zatza"l who was a rav in Yerushalayim mid century, lost a few kids during his lifetime. His escape- just like any gadol- was a blatt gemora, he would immerse himself in learning and forget all his worries. One of his sons was nifter at the age of 35, on the operating table. The family didn't know how to break the news to him and decided on a plan. When he was learning they approached him and said that they asked the Belzer Rebbe Zatza”l how to do the operation but the doctors weren't successful. He looked up from his Gemora and said, "silly children you don’t ask a Rebbe how to operate you ask if you should operate” and with that went back to his Gemora.
