A client whose partner has recently passed away expresses feeling numb and unable to focus. The nurse recognizes these feelings as part of what process?
Feeling numb and experiencing difficulty focusing are common emotional responses during the initial stages of grief, often categorized as the 'denial' or 'shock' phase. In this phase, individuals may feel disconnected from reality as they try to process the loss. This is a normal part of mourning and does not necessarily indicate an inability to grieve. Options like 'acceptance' occur later in the grief process, once the individual has had more time to adapt to the loss.
