It's often used badly, and definitely used way too frequently, and way too-lopsidedly wrt the genders and races of the characters, but there is nothing inherently bad about telling a story about a character's grief over the death of someone they love -- no matter their genders. It can be good or bad, depending on how it's done.
The reason it's usually annoying is because of how cliched and unimaginative the trope has become, and how split along gender and racial lines the trope is in the aggregate. It's still being used today the same way it was used in the 1960s, and it still isn't used with a variety of different kinds of people -- THAT's the problem.

And it's pretty offensive that you use it to justify your behavior, especially considering that's one of the characteristics of the fucking trope.
