Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restoration-oriented coping with death refers to the practical tasks and adjustments that need to be made after a loss, such as managing finances, household tasks, and social roles. Rosie will need to take on these tasks after Bill's death, making choice C the best answer. Bereavement and grief refer to the emotional responses to loss, and loss-oriented coping focuses on processing and expressing emotions related to the loss, which may occur later for Rosie. The initial stage of grief typically involves shock and disbelief, which may have already passed for Rosie considering the context of her situation.
