Our grieving process is based upon on our faith, our personality, and our experiences and thoughts towards life. People usually face different grieving process depending on their personality type. Knowing about these personality griefs can help one know what to do when someone or the person themselves have faced a loss and are going through the process of grieving. The types of personality griefs are Nomads, Memorialist, Normalizer, Activist, and the Seeker(“Types of Grief Personalities”). A…

focus on the single thing that is consuming his or her thoughts, day in and day out, which is probably why they don't understand or realize that their feelings of grief are coming in many stages. In 1969, a Swiss author by the name of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, came out with a book called On Death and Dying. This book had the first appearance of the 5 stages of grief. Hamlet is a perfect example of how the five stages of grief can be just as relevant back in the day, just as it is in our modern…

Consequences of a concept are connected to the outcomes and impacts of the concept (Walker & Avant, 1995). It is controversial whether the impacts of anticipatory grief are beneficial or harmful. As Lindemann (1944) and Breen (2012) indicated that experiencing adequate grief before the loss lessen the grief time and functions as an emotional recovery after the actual loss. Anticipatory grief can provide the opportunity to conclude the relationship, finish any incomplete business, have sufficient…

Introduction People experience loss in many different ways throughout their lives. Events such as moving, changing jobs, and losing friends can create a sense of loss. The loss may be as serious as a major health change, divorce, death of a pet, or death of a loved one. All of these types of loss are likely to create a physical and emotional reaction known as grief. Grief is the result of a major change or an absence of something or someone that you count on. Grief is a normal reaction to loss.…

Throughout our everyday lives, we encounter different dilemmas that we have to face. It may be as simples as getting out of bed when the alarm goes off, or as serious as whether to report sexual assault. These dilemmas also follow us into our workplace. The Devil Wears Prada is a great workplace movie example to show how dilemmas occur everywhere. Some of the dilemmas that we encounter are related to ethical decisions. Is the decision that is being made, right or wrong? Each individual has a…

A Deontological Approach to Issues Surrounding the Environment Quite often when discussing issues surrounding the environment, it is easy to look at the problems as a matter of cause and effect. X amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over Y number of years will lead to Z feet of sea level rise. Consider for a moment then, what happens if an individual foregoes the notion of effect and simply examines if humans have a duty to protect the environment, regardless of consequence? The…

I have not experienced the loss of a loved on in my life. The closest thing to loosing a loved one is loosing a pet. It may sound stupid, but it is a big deal. I lost my dog, Wilson, when he was only two years old. He got sick and they could not help him, so they decided to put him down. I was in middle school and it was something I was not expecting. Grief is a real emotion and something that everyone deals with. Grieving is a process that takes longer for some than others. It is something that…

Moving through Grief Grief: noun; deep sorrow,especially caused by someone’s death: Grief, as I have been shown by Spirit, is energetic. Which means it can move in and out of your physical body and your energetic body, otherwise known as your aura. Grief can become a block and keep you from moving in a forward direction. Forward is where love and the Divine can be seen and felt. Fear, aka Shmego is the complete opposite of love and forward Divine direction. When grief comes into your life…

When discussing grief and loss one thing that is over looked, is a parent’s grief when their child is diagnosed with a mental illness. I believe parents go through the same grief cycle for their “ideal” child as a parent who loses a child. It transcends across all diagnosis and impacts each family differently. The schools are impacted by this loss because they are usually the baring of bad news. When a child is diagnosed this may bring multiple feelings, some might deny that a problem exist…

Death is a part of life and people have different ways of expressing or processing feelings and emotions, but what if the grieving family member cannot express their emotions or supply any feelings towards the deceased but only regard them with logical thoughts and factual information? Grief, bereavement and mourning are all part of the normal process that involves the psychological acceptance of death; this paper is going to discuss the special processes and requirements when the stages of…
