Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The remark indicates anger that her husband died on purpose. She is not asking for help (option 1) nor are there data to support an explosive response (option 3). She does not state fear (option 4).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Option 1 indicates closure on the husband's life. Option 2 indicates continued grieving but not guilt. Option 3 reflects that the person should have done more. Option 4 is a reflection on diffi-cult times of the year but not guilt.
