A
Feedback:
A family member shows signs of resolution of grief if he or she is able to talk about the deceased without becoming overwhelmed. If a family member cries on seeing objects used by the deceased, keeps the possessions of the deceased untouched, or consciously avoids talking about the deceased person, the family member has not resolved grief, but is displaying pathologic grief.
