Question

Which of the following responses to loss and grief is the most accurate?
A. Grieving is considered a mental disorder
B. Primary losses, such as the death of a loved one, loss of personal property, or loss of a job are
more traumatic than secondary losses such as the loss of comfort, an important activity, or a
community connection
C. Grieving should last no longer than six months
D. The impact of any loss depends on the meaning associated with the loss and is highly
individualized.

Answer

The correct answer is “D” – The impact of any loss depends on the meaning associated with the
loss and is highly individualized. Grieving is considered a mental disorder, (answer “A”) is not
correct as grieving is not considered a mental disorder, but a natural response to loss. Primary
losses, such as the death of a loved one, loss of personal property, or loss of a job are more
traumatic than secondary losses such as loss of comfort, an important activity, or a community
connection, (answer “B”) is not correct because secondary losses can be as traumatic as primary
losses, depending on the meaning that the loss has for the individual. Grieving should last no
longer than six months, (answer C) is not correct as there is no normal time limit for grieving;
grieving lasts for as long as it lasts.
