By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:

  • Describe bereavement and the phases of grieving, indicating factors that underlie individual variations in grief responses.

What are some possible advantages of memorials (thought the Web or otherwise)? Be sure to include in your response information from the textbook or other psychology-specific sources.
