Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The individual is exhibiting disenfranchised grief since situations have distanced him or her from the family, making grieving openly impossible. Pathological grief begins with a normal grieving process, but obstacles interfere with a normal evolution toward adjustment, causing reactions to be exaggerated. Anticipatory grief is a response to a real or perceived loss before the loss occurs. Acute grief is a crisis; it is a syndrome of physical and psychological symptoms of distress, often accompanied by functional disruption.
