Answer to Question 1

There are three phases of grief (Hooyman & Kiyak, 2002 )  
Initial Phase: initial responses to death include shock, numbness, and disbelief, followed by overwhelming sorrow. Elderly spouses and caregivers can become ill quickly following the death of an intimate partner or family member.
Intermediate Phase: During this phase, people idealize the deceased. Widows and widowers tend to regret every wrong-doing or misspoken word in their relationship. Some become angry at the deceased or displace their anger onto other family members or healthcare providers. The bereaved may experience anguish, disorganization, and despair and may feel they have lost the motivation to carry on.
Final Phase: It is during this time recovery and reorganization occur, but this may take several years. Because the elderly may have diminished coping skills and lack the physical capacity required to do their grief work, grieving may be a much more complex experience for them.
