A friend has told you that her great-uncle just passed away and that she is very worried about her great-aunt (his widow). She and her family want to help her great-aunt but they don't know what to expect (i.e., what is typical grieving) and what to do to best help her. Based on the findings from bereavement studies, what advice can you give your friend to help her great-aunt? Would you tell your friend anything different if it were her great aunt who passed away and her great-uncle who was the widower?
