Wass Parkes Silverman Worden

William Worden is a psychologist who has developed a theory on how people go through the process of mourning and he states there are 4 different stages or tasks people go through:

Accept the reality of loss: This refers going past the sense of "disbelief" that usually happens at first once the person has died. To Process the Pain of Grief: experience this grief in any possible ways you need to: physically, mentally, psychologically. To Adjust to a World Without the Deceased: Adapt to the new reality without the other person and assume a new identity without them. It can also include learning new skills now that the person is gone. To Find an Enduring Connection With the Deceased: This refers to finding a new balance in life by remembering the person and also enjoying your new life without him/her.

In this example, we are asked whose model focuses on four tasks of mourning, including accepting the reality of the loss, processing the pain of grief, and finding an enduring connection with the deceased. We can see that these are actually the names of the four stages of William Worden theory, and therefore, the correct answer is Worden.
