  b. I'm sorry for talking all the time, but there is just so much going on, and I can't remember what I already said..

Answer to Question 1

D
With bereavement-related depression, the griever feels the loss so intensely that despair and worthlessness overwhelm everything. This is not considered a normal grief reaction. Complicated grief refers to a constant yearning for the deceased without symptoms of depression. Complicated depression is not a grief reaction.

Answer to Question 2

A
People who frequently complain, yet reject help or suggestions when offered, tend to have histories of severe deprivation as children, often accompanied by neglect or abuse. The other comments reflect dynamics other than the help-rejecting complainer, such as the monopolizer who apologizes for talking too much, the person who is insightful and agrees to try a peer's suggestion, and the demoralizing member.
