Rationale:A. This statement may indicate prolonged grief or depression but does not specifically point to the guilt or distress seen in traumatic grief.B. This describes a physiological response to flashbacks, which is more indicative of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rather than traumatic grief.C. This statement reflects emotional suppression, which can be common in military culture but does not directly indicate traumatic grief.D. Expressing survivor's guilt, as in feeling that they should have died instead of their friend, is a hallmark of traumatic grief and indicates the client is struggling with the loss in a deeply distressing way.
