The Grieving Process

Improved Essays
I can attest to the grievance process personally because I experienced this when I lost my brother when I was sixteen years old. There are five steps normally associated with this process; denial, bargaining, anger, depression, and resolution. Being in denial is so common because most people feel that their loved one is not really gone and they talk as if they will be back again. The one thing that I stated was “I am just dreaming right now and I will awake and see my brother!” Sometimes it is hard to accept, the pain is so deep and it all happen when you were least expected. On the other hand, some people are so mad that you cannot interact with them or converse without them responding with a harsh tone or profane verbiage which is a result

    There are many different models for grieving that are constantly being changed or renewed, the most popular being Kubler-Ross & Kessler's "Five Stages of Grief". The models are not a guideline, they are an outline of what one may experience. There is no right or wrong way to go through the outline and the experience will vary between the grievers. One study showed that the development of interpersonal resources in a crucial piece in treatment as individual are at risk of becoming dependent on others or becoming isolated (Mancini, Sinan & Bonanno, 2015). The study suggests that grief interventions needs to help the individual find others who can support them and help them adapt to the change (Mancini, Sinan & Bonanno, 2015).…

    Great post Erin, I think the way individual grieve has to do with how the death occurs. My friend lost her son six months ago, even though she had a home funeral for him, her grieving process is poor, and I do not think at this time the home funeral matter to her. However, I do think one day she will appreciate the home funeral she had for her son. I believed I would be open to attending to support group if I lost a loved one, I am not sure I would have been open to it if I had not been in the healthcare field. Seeing a psychiatrist comes with a stigma for a lot of people, and many do not know the benefit they gain from seeing one or attending a support group.…

    I can recall quite a few instances in which I have experienced loss, death, and grieving as everyone has. Death is inevitable and so are the emotions people possess afterward. The way people grieve is optional: some chose to grieve only during the funeral, others choose to have a consistent grieving process. Some, like myself, grieve differently depending on the situation at hand; for example, I can recall about three various incidents in my life that I have experienced death within and even outside of my family.…
