Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regulating loss refers to the process of regulating the emotions associated with loss and adapting to new circumstances. Coming to terms with his injury and the loss of his job and income would be an example of regulating loss, as Genaro is accepting the changes and adapting to his new situation. The other options do not necessarily involve regulating loss. Returning to physical therapy and going back to truck driving would involve adapting to the physical limitations of his injury, while making financial decisions that allow for retirement and starting a support group would involve making practical decisions to improve his situation, but not necessarily dealing with the emotional impact of loss.
