On the condition that an individual doesn't know who to reach out to, “Many organizations can help teens deal with their grief when a loved one dies. These organizations offer private advice and can refer you to other helpful sources”(Kuehn 41). An individual who need help dealing with loss and grief can find support at various places. Through much new research on grief there are several treatment options and outlets to help those who are dealing with a
The hardships of continuing life after losing someone close is indescribably difficult. I chose to explore how people are impacted by grief because I was interested in different ways grief is expressed, and the strength necessary to ultimately overcome it. Although, I have been lucky enough not to have had much interaction with death up to this point in my life, I wanted to better understand where people who have are coming from. However, another driving factor for my interest in this topic was to prepare myself; some of my grandparents have been diagnosed with cancer (nothing terminal), but in the case that I will have to face the world knowing that they are not longer, I do not want to go unarmed.

There are multiple stages of grief and healing. The stages have no order, so one person may not be at the same stage as another when dealing with the same situation. 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. The two main characters Conrad and Calvin move from stages of grief to stages of healing by recognizing why their grieving.
I assume that the reason parents try and grieve with the loss of a child by virtual memorials is because virtual memorials shift death and bereavement from the private sphere of family and local community into the public largely unregulated spaces of the Internet. It is in human nature to want attention even if it is not from people you know. We are hardwired to give and help we just all change because of how we are treated; but at the end of the day everyone helps the person dealing with death. Another assumption is that people dealing with grief and bereavement should not use efforts of technology to help the pain but should use more of the traditional methods for help.
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. During a death of my Great Aunt, my family went through the stages of grief. I was close with her when I was younger, but I do not have many memories I remember with her so I did not experience much grief. On the other hand, my Great Uncle went through a lot of grief since she was his older sister.
Participants in my bereavement support group are often offended and outraged by the so- called insensitive things that people say to the bereaved. One lady was so upset because somebody told her that she could still find a new husband, as she was still young. Another lady was outraged because her decision to keep the ashes of her husband on the coffee table in the house was considered by others as, disgusting There is a list of things that one should not say to the bereaved such as, “He is in a better place,” (It is a cliché),“It was God’s will,” (You don’t know that),“I know exactly how you feel,”(You have no clue) “Thank God you have other children. ”(Condescending).
In anticipatory grief the life of the patient and their family is re-examined; the closeness of relationships, life accomplishments and the anticipation of missed family events. It is preparing for a
Grief is as unique to the soul as fingerprints are to the hands; some families are at peace, while others are still struggling with the loss. More than anything, I know that many families who have just lost a loved one want others to listen and to learn about their loved one because it keeps their memory alive. People feel good when they talk about themselves. My ability to be a great listener will allow me to be fully aware in the moment, so I can respond with more authenticity. To be present in the moment to focus on the families can help me imagine putting myself in their position and really think about what’s going through their head and what it must be like.
and have gone back to the routine of their lives. In order to continue in the grieving process, a more orderly existence will follow suit where emotions become more fluid and alternate. In the third stage, known as the upheaval the families and their loved ones may have to cope with setbacks and deterioration in the individual's health, as well as periods of seeming remission depending on the ailment of the dying individual. For these loved ones, dealing with the complexities of extended grief which can last weeks, months, or even years can be overwhelming. As a negative effect this can lead to the ambivalence of emotions as well as lacking the wisdom of moving to the next stage.
Cognitive Based Therapy When an individual experiences grief and difficulties moving beyond the pain and loss associated with grief; the individual may be experiencing complicated grief. “Complicated grief is a condition that occurs when something impedes the process of adapting to a loss. The core symptoms include intense and prolonged yearning, longing and sorrow, frequent insistent thoughts of the deceased and difficulty accepting the painful reality of the death or imagining a future with purpose and meaning” (Sheer & Bloom, 2016, p.6). Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that social workers and therapists may utilize to help the individual change their pattern of negative thinking or behaviors. “CBT has been used to
