The nurse is leading a recovery group made up of parents who have lost a child

Question

As the opening topic for the night's discussion, the nurse has again reviewed information about the grief process to the parents and talked about how different people grieve. During the discussion phase, several fathers speak. The nurse recognizes that the father who needs more time to understand the grief process is the father who says: 1. "I understand that everyone grieves differently."
2. "Looking back, I realize why I became so angry when the doctors didn't cure my daughter."
3. "It's been six months since my son died, so why isn't my wife ready to move on with our lives?"
4. "I'm glad you described some common grief reactions. I thought I was going crazy for a while."
