Answer to Question 1

A
Disenfranchised grief is not openly acknowledged, socially sanctioned, or publicly shared (i.e., a person is reluctant to recognize the sense of loss, feels guilty, or experiences social pressure to resume life activities).

Answer to Question 2

C
Chronic grief is associated with long-term coping with a loss; with delayed grief, the person does not readily identify the loss. A reaction that is considered to be extreme for the circumstance is considered to be exaggerated grief.
