Answer 1

Ans. (d)

When individuals die, following there is a period of grief for the members of the family. Research on grief observes that the most grief is experienced with the loss of parents, spouses, and children. It is also observed that once the initial shock fades, most bereaved people resume their daily activities. This usually takes a few weeks or months. According to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the order of emotions that people go through as a response to death is denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Research on grief demonstrates that following the death of spouse men are more likely than women to experience physical and mental health problems. In case of death that occurs after a long illness, it is observed that family members are able to cope better. The fellow members are observed to be better prepared through the process of anticipatory grief.
