A client who recently lost their spouse reports feeling numb, has difficulty sleeping, and avoids activities they once enjoyed. Which stage of grief does this behavior most likely reflect?
Anger
Acceptance
Denial
Bargaining
The described symptoms—numbness, difficulty sleeping, and withdrawal—align with the 'denial' stage of grief. Denial is often the initial response to loss, where individuals may struggle to process the reality of the situation. This response is a defense mechanism that provides temporary emotional protection. Other stages such as 'anger' involve emotional outbursts directed at self or others, 'bargaining' involves attempting to negotiate for outcomes, and 'acceptance' reflects emotional adjustment and moving forward.
