In The Lovely Bones, what are the ways each of the Salmons mourns Susie's death?

The
members of Susie's familyher father (Jack), her mother (Abigail), her sister (Lindsey), and her
brother (Buckley)all show different ways of grieving and coming to terms with the death of their
loved one.

Jack's grief initially manifests as rage, and he smashes the
collection of ships in bottles that he and Susie had created together. Later, through a sense of
intuition, he begins to rightfully suspect his neighbor Harvey of being his daughter's
murderer.

While Jack dedicates himself to finding Susie's killer, his wife,
Abigail, finds herself pulling away from her family and turning to Detective Fenerman for
answers.

Buckley handles his childlike grief by asking an array of questions
about the sudden absence of his sister.
