健康的悲傷適應允許個體在生活中維持逝者的記憶,同時逐漸適應現實。持續與逝者對話(選項 B)是一種過渡期的心理調適機制;而過度保留所有物品(選項 C)或自我封閉與忽視生理需求(選項 D、A)則是病態性悲傷或憂鬱的徵兆。
Healthy coping with grief allows individuals to maintain connections with the deceased while adapting to their absence. Talking to the spouse during daily routines represents a normal transitional mechanism for integrating loss. In contrast, social isolation, rigid preservation of belongings, or neglecting self-care may indicate complicated grief or depression.
