Life does happen even to the most dedicated of writers. Things like taxes, relationships, births, deaths etc ... The trick is to find a way to not get so lost in them the we can't find our way back to writing. Sometimes it takes a while, but some times... sometimes it's the very act of writing that gets us through those times. For those that the act helps, it doesn't matter what you write, as long as you write.
I'm a weird hybrid of both. There are some life events that writing gets me through the pain and helps to heal (where do you think Tales of Bedlam came from?), and then there are other events that are so painful that the mind just shuts down to process them. For me of late, well... I've poked at the current project and made some progress I guess... but I'm not on a deadline, so I can allow myself the time to just slink through the greiving process and write as the Muse dictates. I'm good with that.
