Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Acute exacerbations are common especially around holidays and significant milestones. The remaining options are more common with depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Unresolved guilt reflects that the person should have done more. Expressing peace with a situation indicates closure on the husband's life. Missing indicates continued grieving but not guilt. Reflection on difficult times is not guilt.
