Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Acknowledge that you and others may not experience grief the same way. Recognize physical symptoms of grief. Recognize emotional symptoms of grief. Recognize signs of grief in children. Recognize signs of complicated grief.

Answer: There are some common symptoms that people experience when they feel grief, but nobody experiences grief exactly the same way. Acknowledge your own feelings of grief while understanding that others may have different feelings or expressions. Expressions of grief vary widely not only between individuals but also between cultures and spiritual traditions. Some common physical symptoms you may experience during feelings of grief include:  Changes in sleep patterns Changes in appetite (loss of appetite or increase of appetite) Crying Headaches or body aches Weakness or fatigue Feelings of physical heaviness Pain Stress-related symptoms such as nausea, rapid heart rate, or insomnia Weight loss or weight gain Grief is emotionally complex and deeply personal. You may experience many of these symptoms or only a few. At times, you may feel overwhelmed by emotions and other times you may feel numb. These are all natural reactions to grief. Some common emotional symptoms include:  Shock or disbelief Sadness, emptiness, or yearning Loneliness or feeling isolated Guilt or regret Anger Fear or worry Panic attacks Frustration Anxiety Depression Questioning your spiritual or religious beliefs You may also experience positive emotions, such as relief or peace, particularly if you have experienced a prolonged loss such as the death of a person with a terminal illness. These feelings can trigger feelings of guilt or disloyalty, as you may feel ashamed that you are experiencing positive emotions. Acknowledge that these feelings are also a natural part of the grief experience. Children, especially those who are younger, may express grief in recognizable ways but also in ways that are less familiar to adults. Be on the lookout for possible signs of grief in children, who cannot always adequately communicate their feelings through words. These signs include:  Emotional shock. The child may appear much less expressive of his or her feelings than usual. S/he may refuse to talk about the loss. Regressive or immature behaviors. The child may appear to “regress” to an earlier stage of behavior, such as needing to be rocked, experiencing separation anxiety, fearing going to school, sucking the thumb, wetting the bed, needing to sleep with a parent, or having difficulty completing tasks or activities that s/he usually does not have trouble with. Explosive behavior and misbehaving. The child may “act out” or explode with sudden bursts of emotion. These emotions commonly include feelings of anger, frustration, confusion, or helplessness. Misbehaving in ways that are not common for the child may be a way for him or her to try to assert some control over the situation. Repeating questions. The child may ask the same question repeatedly, even if given the same answer. This may signal that the child is having difficulty understanding or accepting the reality of the situation. Defensive behavior. This is common in early school-aged children to adolescents. Defensive behavior attempts to “distract” the child from his or her feelings. S/he may get more engrossed in schoolwork, socializing, games, or other activities. S/he may also deny feeling loss to parents or authority figures but feel comfortable talking about feelings with peers.  Physical symptoms. Grief and anxiety often manifest themselves in physical symptoms, particularly in very young children. Symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches are common. The child may also have trouble sleeping and may experience loss of appetite. Sometimes, you may experience so much grief for so long that it significantly impairs your ability to function in daily life. While all grief is complex, “complicated grief” refers to a process of mourning that does not lessen feelings of grief over time, and may even cause worsening emotional trauma. If you notice these signs in yourself or others, especially if you have been experiencing grief for some time, consider seeing a mental health professional who can help you process your grief. Signs include:  Focus on little or nothing other than your loss Extreme focus on or avoidance of reminders of your loss Prolonged denial of the loss Feeling that life is meaningless or purposeless Inability to trust others Inability to think about positive experiences or feelings Extreme irritability or agitation


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep the crabs chilled. Clean the crabs before or after steaming them. Rinse the crabs with water before you steam them. Defrost frozen crab legs.

Answer: Crabs can be steamed alive or frozen (the latter are usually crab legs). However, if possible, live crabs taste better after steaming. If you're not immediately cooking the crabs, you will want to keep them cold, whether they are alive or frozen. You can use a cooler full of ice or you can use cold packs.Keep the crabs chilled right until the second you steam the crabs. If you're cooking live crabs, you could put them in an ice chest. If you are handling live crabs (such as Dungeness and Red Rock crabs), you should clean the crabs before or after cooking them. Cooks do this either way.  Remove the crabs' aprons (their abdomen) by pulling off the shell flaps on the crabs' bellies. This is the triangular shell piece positioned at the crab's tail. You can use your hands to break this off or use a knife tip to do so. Remove the crabs' backs (called the carapace) by sticking your thumb into the hole left from removing the crabs' abdomens. Lift up firmly, and the shells should detach from the crab body with guts attached. Take off the leafy, spongy gills from both sides of the crabs, and throw them away. You can steam many kinds of crab, although the cooking times will vary. Be careful to use separate plates for raw crabs and cooked crabs to avoid cross-contamination.  You will want to rinse out the green-brown guts from the crabs. Break off the mouth parts on either side of the crabs, and throw them away. Then, turn the crabs upside down. Gripping the crabs on both sides, place your thumbs underneath along the back midpoint. Crack the crabs along their centers by pulling down with the hands while pushing up with the thumbs. It's also possible to do this process in reverse and cook the crabs and then clean them using the same process. You can either steam live crabs or you can steam frozen crab legs that you buy at the store. You will simply need to reheat frozen crab legs. It's a simpler process.  One serving of frozen crab legs is usually between 8 ounces and 1 pound (225-450 g). To defrost frozen crab legs, put them in the refrigerator for about 8 hours. You don't want to leave them in the refrigerator for more than 2 days without cooking them, though. You'll want to put the crab legs in a watertight container so the legs drain while they are defrosting without creating a mess in your refrigerator.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Mix the brown sugar and olive oil. Rub the scrub across your lips. Wipe the scrub off with a damp washcloth.

Answer:
Add 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) of brown sugar and ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml) of olive oil to a small bowl or dish. Stir the two ingredients together until they’re fully blended. You can adjust the amount of olive oil. You need just enough to help the sugar stick together, so if you prefer a grainy scrub, you can mix in less than ½ tablespoon (7.5 ml). Once the sugar and olive oil are mixed, use your finger to gently apply the scrub to your lips. Massage it in for approximately 30 to 60 seconds to slough off the dead skin. You can use the scrub once a week. When your lips are extremely chapped in colder months, you may want to use it twice a week. After you’ve massaged the scrub in, wet a washcloth with warm water. Gently wipe your lips with the cloth until all of the scrub is removed. Be sure to follow up with a lip balm to help soothe and hydrate your lips.
