Answers

A.  She experience greater levels of grief due to the central importance of relationships to a woman’s identity.
B.  One of the most damaging things that can be done is to send the child away to visit someone until the funeral and initial grieving process is over. This not only makes the child feel disenfranchised from the family unit, but also does not allow for a sense of understanding of death, even if that understanding is rudimentary. 
C. difficulty understanding the third concept of non-functionality.
D. Children can misinterpret language at different developmental stages. The young child can misunderstand clichés associated with grieving, and these clichés can actually block the grieving process.
E.  refers to losses that cannot be openly acknowledged, socially sanctioned, or publicly mourned.
F.  A teacher
G.  emotionally separating from parents, developing a sense of mastery and control, establishing a sense of belonging, developing a positive self-image, and creating a sense of fairness and justice.
H.  She avoids facing ambivalent feelings towards the deceased mother, avoids facing memories of recent disagreements or anxieties of life without her, and structures her thoughts through concrete activities. A kind of symbiosis might be achieved whereby for a short time at least, both primary and secondary losses are compensated for by father and daughter concentrating on `restoring' their lives through keeping the family functioning. 
I.  (1) to accept the death of the loved one, (2) to uncover and endure the pain inherent in the grieving process, (3) to adapt to an environment in which the loved one is absent, and (4) to reconnect with the deceased in a way that the mourner is able to continue with life.
J.  Grief is normal, but if emotional or behavioral problems seem extreme, if they persist beyond six months, or if they interfere with any aspect of functioning, consider contacting a professional.
K.  (a) engaging in both life affirmation and death acknowledgment, (b) questioning and assuming different belief systems regarding death and the afterlife prior to settling onto a more permanent value system, and (c) incorporating the very reality of personal mortality into their evolving sense of identity.
L.  A child's egocentrism will cause continued need to validate his or her own thoughts. The impact of this thinking upon how a child of this age views death is an awareness of the finality of death and the fear of how the death personally affects her own life.
