A patient who has just lost her spouse asks the nurse how long it will be until she feels like living again. The nurse realizes this patient has to work through which phases of the grieving process according to Bowlby?
Select all that apply.
1. denial
2. despair
3. detachment
4. protest
5. restitution
Correct Answer: 2,3,4
The theorist Bowlby believes that a person needs to work through the three phases of grief before being able to move beyond the grief process. These three phases are protest, despair, and detachment. The patient's responses indicate she has acknowledged the event. Denial is associated with feelings of disbelief. Restitution is a stage in Engel's theory of loss.
