From what I read, the overall theme of the grieving process in the short story “The Things They Carried,” written by Tim O’Brien, is that death is more of a joke, yet all the characters are scared about it; they seem to not view the process in a uniform way. One part of the story had someone kick a dead body, and then cut off the person’s thumb (O’Brien 308). It states specifically in the store, "They kicked corpses. They cut off thumbs. They talked grunt lingo" (O'Brien 308).

Loosing someone you love can cause very profound feelings leading towards a grief process. One of the stages of grief is denial, which can cause someone to not enjoy life and experience many wonderful things like love. Anger is another example, it makes a person be angry for a very long time and make it hard to move on. The final example of the grief is acceptance and can produce a lack of social interaction. In the Piano lesson Berniece shows the stages of grief by staying angry at Boy Willie, denying Avery's marriage proposal, and by not wanting to have contact with the piano.
“People keep telling me life goes on, but, to me that’s the saddest part.” I think this person is trying to say they would rather be with the person they lost. It 's kinda like when someone is forced to keep going in they’re sorrow that they wanted to do more before they lost that person a deepening feeling that never stops and never goes away, where there 's always a moment of triumph but its short lived because they tell themselves they can’t move on, so little jimmy sits there in his bed feeling like a sinking pillow that has a permanent indent that he can 't get rid of so he’s forced to deal with it little jimmy feels like he’s forced through life and he just has to “live with it”, and learn to live with it. Imagine living like that do

To make yourself a better occupational therapist, promoting healthy occupational recovery after a death of a loved one. When grievers made sense to their losses in spiritual, personal, practical, or existential terms, it resulted in them feeling less separated from their loved one which allowed them to move one with their lives in a healthier way.

The same thing applies to the stages of healing. In the novel “Ordinary People” by Judith Guest, the Jarrett family, Conrad, Calvin, and Beth are all in different stages of grief due to the loss of Buck and other reasons varying from character to character.

After a death or loss of something close, people usually react similarly by going through the five stages of grief. These stages include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

On the other hand, my Great Uncle went through a lot of grief since she was his older sister.
