Answer to Question 1

D
Grief is experienced differently by people at different developmental stages. For example, a child's reaction to loss depends on the child's understanding of what death means (e.g., a young child would perceive death as a result of being sick), while an older adult views death as inevitable. Grief is likewise experienced differently by adolescents and young adults.

Answer to Question 2

A
The cause of death, either expected or unexpected, is yet another factor that influences the intensity of the grief response. In the event of unexpected death, such as death from a heart attack or stroke, the survivors experience shock but can usually work through the grief process without complications. Traumatic death, which is the result of violence, accident, or homicide, can create complicated grief experiences for the survivors.
