Lopez, Sandra A. "Culture as an influencing factor in adolescent grief and bereavement." The Prevention Researcher 18.3 (2011). Print.

Clements, one of the authors, replied and explained mourning as a social procedure, yet it is so naturally interlaced with grieving that to try and separate the two is not a simple undertaking, nor is it useful for researchers or clinicians. Paul Clements thinks this is brilliantly reflected in the term psychosocial nursing, on the grounds that paying little mind to whether youngsters and their families are grieving or mourning. What makes a difference most to them is the way they feel and the ways the procedure influences their everyday lives. Not discussing the demise does not make it go away. Discussing death using age-suitable and culturally applicable terms can give a foundation to versatile adapting. Shaila Bhave had to talk about it with her friend and Judith Templeton, just so all the drama going on in her head can be reduced. Paul Clements expresses that grief is not an endpoint but rather an adventure. It is regular for grief to be a deep rooted
