Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Survivor guilt occurs when one person survives and another dies and the survivor is burdened by guilt about living. In anticipatory grief, an individual expects the loss before it occurs. Unresolved grief occurs when individuals suppress or avoid grief. Ambiguous loss occurs when circumstances surrounding the loss are uncertain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Sometimes conflict arises when two members of a family grieve differently and do not understand each other. There is no right or wrong grief response, and there is a lack of research evidence to show an association between lack of expression and negative psychiatric outcomes. Another misunderstanding is that emotions must be expressed them to be real and for healing to take place.
