Question 1 of 5
A client has just died, and their son states, 'She was the most wonderful mother. There was no one who was a better mother than she was. She was perfect.' Which stage of grief is this son experiencing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The son is experiencing the idealization stage of grief. During this stage, individuals tend to idealize the deceased person and remember them in a highly positive light, overlooking any negative aspects. This idealization serves as a coping mechanism to deal with the loss.
Choice A, Denial, is incorrect as denial involves refusing to accept the reality of the loss.
Choice B, Anger, is incorrect as it involves feelings of resentment and frustration.
Choice D, Shock, is incorrect as shock is the initial reaction to the loss and is different from idealizing the deceased individual.
