specific things can we do or say which will genuinely comfort
the bereaved?
v
What are
the common things that well meaning people often say or do
which end up causing increased pain and anger, and prolong
grieving for the bereaved?

particular kinds of death provoke particular kinds of
reactions in the bereaved?
v
What are
specific types of behavior, often shown by the bereaved, which
tend to worry and concern friends and relatives but which are

the psychological tasks which confront children and adults in
the aftermath of death?
