Yeah in some cases it definietely is. It's happened to me. I didn't go through a grieving process when my grandfather died, but we weren't so close though and he'd been sick a very long time. I was sad and I miss him sometimes but I didn't cry or anything and during the funeral I mostly felt happy for him to not be so sick anymore and to have reunited with my grandmother, maybe focusing on that was a way to deal with it. I don't know, but I think him having been so ill for so long made it feel less tragic. He'd lived a long and overall good life.
Many people who have cared for someone they love through all the stresses and emotional upheavals of a long period of terminal illness and slow decline feel a huge sense of relief when the inevitable end of the journey is finally reached.
It's not uncommon for survivors to deny those feelings or feel guilty about them because they aren't part of the cultural expectations for how people are supposed to grieve.
IIN to skip the grieving process
