Common questions
Do the five stages of grief happen in order?
Not necessarily. You may not have all of the stages, and they may not happen in a particular order. There is no right or wrong way to grieve.
How long does grief last?
It is different for everyone. For most people, grief eases slowly. If intense grief lasts a year or more and disrupts daily life, talk with a health professional.
Is this quiz a test for prolonged grief?
No. It is for learning only. If grief feels stuck or your mood has been low for weeks, talk with a doctor or counselor.
