Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sudden or untimely deaths often lead to more intense and distressing grief reactions, which can include intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, and difficulties with concentration. Slow and prolonged deaths may also lead to grief and mental health challenges, but they may present differently. Discussing the death openly with a doctor or experiencing it in a hospital or institution may not necessarily affect the intensity or type of grief reactions a person experiences.
