Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Each type of loss means that something meaningful has been taken away, whether it is phys-ical, psychological, social, or symbolic. The remaining options are not true statements regard-ing bereavement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
No two people regardless of age will grieve the same way, even in the same family. Each person's grief has unique characteristics and a timetable all its own. It is not necessarily true that young grievers experience severe reactions to loss and require only love during this expe-rience. Although most individuals do experience the various stages of grief, that information is not the most instructive for the mother.
