Question
Bob's father died 3 years ago. Initially, Bob found the loss to be quite difficult. He took 2 weeks off of work, and tried to avoid contact with his friends. After about a month, Bob continued to miss his father, but returned to work, and slowly reunited with his friends. Bob is doing well three years later. However, when his father's birthday rolls around, he feels saddened for most of that day, but this alleviates in about 24 hours. Based on this description, which type of grief response would this best be described as? Complicated grief Delayed grief A generally normal grief response Exaggerated grief Masked griefExplanation / Answer
This type of grief response would be described as " Masked grief".
This is because other forms of grief rsponse exhibit some kind of phobias and psychological disorders but this has not been described in Bob' s case that he is suffering from psychological abnormality.
However masked grief is the grief response when a person does not show his emotional grief under societal formalities but he feels sad around some special dates. So this will be msked grief response
