All of these are true about grief in cases of dementia, except one. Which is NOT valid or true?
A. Caregivers experience anger, denial and anxiety just as do others experiencing grief.
B. The family's grief is usually resolved by the time the client enters the middle stages of ADRD.
C. Supportive friends and family tend to become more limited as the crises continue year after year.
D. There are multiple on-going losses to integrate and resolve over years of ongoing grief.
Answer (2)
The statement suggesting that family grief resolves by middle stages of ADRD is not true; grief is an ongoing process as loved ones experience multiple losses over time. Caregivers and families confront similar emotions as in traditional grief. The support system may diminish, exacerbating feelings of grief and isolation. ;
The option that is NOT true is that the family's grief resolves by the middle stages of ADRD; in fact, grief is ongoing as families confront numerous losses. Caregivers experience emotions similar to traditional grief, and support from friends and family may diminish over time. This reflects the ongoing nature of grief faced by those caring for individuals with dementia.
