 C. People might expect Kiko to recover more quickly.

Grief is a highly individual experience and can vary significantly between people and situations. In the case of a stillbirth, like the one Kiko experienced, some people around her may have never seen the baby, which might lead them to underestimate the depth of Kiko's attachment and loss, compared to a six-month-old child whom family and friends have had the chance to meet and form relationships with. This can lead to an expectation (whether fair or not) that Kiko may 'recover' from her loss more quickly, simply because the baby was not a visible part of others' lives.
