  • Bereavement in Book of the Duchess

    ...f servitude "Al this I putte in his servage... And worship to my lady dere, `And this was longe, and many a yeer'" (769, 74-75). Similarly, John of Gaunt would have been, by the death of his Blanch, freed of certain responsibilities. Chaucer may have intended to offer consolation not because of the woman death but through her death, that is, death served to restabilize and delineate the role of the sexes. Clearly Chaucer's message was that effeminizing behavior did not become men; there was the hunt to rejoin "And with that worde, right anoon, They gan to strake forth" (1311-12), the steed to be mounted "This king gan quickly hoomward for to ryde" (1314-15), and the home to be returned to "A long castel with walles white" (1318). As dutifully as Alcyone died, the male characters, as well as John of Gaunt, were to dutifully carry on the divine gift of manhood.

Also brought up is the fact that the disabled population may not show the normal symptoms of grieving, or any symptoms at all. They stress the importance of awareness of these differences in spite of limited communication which in turn can lead to more problems with the grieving individual.

  • The Stages Of Death In The Kubler-Ross Model

    1350 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the history of mankind there are two main things that are guaranteed in life, taxes and death. According to researchers at Hebrews For Christians, 56,000,000 people die each year, (Parson, 2014). Many of these people die at ripe old ages while there are a plethora of young people who die slow and tragic deaths. When death occurs many people are not prepared and therefore many devastating things can result from this. People usually experience problems with their emotions, they will stress over a number of situations, and many health issues will arise. Many people become depressed for long periods of time and give up on life. Although there are people who take these experiences to heart, there are many ways a person can deal with these problems. Dealing with these problems in a healthy manner, can lead to a very healthy healing process for everyone who is being affected by it. In this research paper I will discuss three main keys points. The first key point I will discuss the stages of death in the Kubler - Ross Model. Secondly I will discuss is the psychological effect of how death can effect people in many different ways. Third and final, I will show you many different ways a person can deal with grief.

  • Grief and Oncology Nursing

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    My earliest experiences of observing nursing in action occurred during my last two years of high school. My father was diagnosed with cancer during the spring of my junior year and died right before my senior year. During that short time I watched as the nurses cared for him and I could see compassion and empathy in the way they looked at him. It never occurred to me until after I had raised my children that I wanted to be able to help people in the same way those nurses helped my dad. But now when I tell people that I want to be an oncology nurse, people often respond by saying that they would never choose that type of nursing. They say that they could not stand to watch their patients die so frequently. Their reactions, along with this course in death and dying, have made me question how I might be able to bear the challenges of nursing in an area where death of my patients may be common. I believe that oncology will be a positive specialty to work in because of the consistent advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer. Furthermore, I believe that William Worden’s four tasks of mourning as presented in our text book is a good framework for the oncology nurse to use in order to cope with the repeated losses inherent in this type of nursing (Leming and Dickinson, 2011).

He went on to say; newly bereaved people are frequently treated as sick by the society. I can quite agree with this statement, in many cultures, a bereaved person is expected to stay at home for a long period, for example, some cultures and religions have official guideline of duration of mourning. For example, a Muslim widow is expected to be in mourning for a period of four months and ten days, during this period, she is expected to stay at home. Although for a

    People cope with the loss of a loved one in many ways. For some, the experience may lead to personal growth, even though it is a difficult and trying time.

The Dying Person’s Bill of Rights was first introduced back in the 1970 but with the new health care reforms of recent years it has been reinvented and reintroduce.

    Bereaved Parents go through grief, but extremely more intense than the average individual who has lost a loved one. Grief is different for every individual depending on the loss, and person they lost. Regarding implications and policy for grief, my finding point to the need of education around this topic for schools, social workers, hospitals and therapists. More professional’s services should be provided for not just individuals going through grief, but individuals who have lost a child or who have prolonged grief. Support groups and specialize grief interventions should be implanted into communities for families who are having a difficulty adapting to the death of their child.
