This is not to say that Tina didn’t share a similar bond with her mother. Tina herself had her own experiences that made the time she shared with her mother special. Another miracle child that took seven years of trying after Carlos to conceive, Tina was the girl that her mother had always wanted. However, Tina’s arrival had now gifted the family with both a boy and a girl. Tina grew up more independently, she liked to discovery things on her own, then share them with the family, to Carlos’s distaste. This was because Tina was bright, smarter than most seven year olds in the county. She taught herself to read by 4, and went to tune of her own beat, much to the delight of both her mother and father. This did cause a bit of jealousy towards Tina, from Carlos. Not quite as smart, nor wise, he didn’t really understand the significance of the bond between himself and his mother until now. …show more content…
There are five stages of grief, and it could be said that both Carlos and Tina were in the first stage – denial. Denial can manifest itself in many different ways depending on the person. Tina for example, chose to still be her usual vibrant self, trying to compensate for the loss of her mother by making up of the lost cheerfulness. Carlos on the other hand chose to act out, not the physical sense, but more like a filter or vail being removed from his consciousness. This vail was the approval of his mother, with no-one to impress or to bounce ideas off Carlos was now alone in his consciousness. For some this is freedom, but for Carlos this was hell. Without his mother’s guidance he was now lost, a stray lamb in this infinite universe. Ironically, now without his mother, he had no-one to express these feeling of loss too, so now he began to retreat inwards. Now his actions came without reason. He began to be more obnoxious, indifferent to the results of his actions, for now there was no one to judge him, no one who
Society and culture have created scripts (i.e., social norms) that dictate the ways in which we are to grieve. These scripts also prescribe the unique ways in which men and women are expected to respond to grief. Specifically, men’s grief scripts suggest that men will resolve to grieve in solitude as a demonstration of their self-reliance. Men may also have muted emotional response and expressed emotions are typically in the form of anger or guilt (Martin & Doka, 2011). Comparatively, women’s grief scripts suggest that women are more emotive and seek support from others to help cope with loss (Martin & Doka, 2011).

Grief counseling is a division of social work that involves the interpersonal aspect of the social worker’s role as expert in coping with death. In this paper I will define grief counseling and some ways to cope with loss. Next I will discuss the history and seven stages of grief. There are two main forms of grievers which are intuitive and instrumental. In addition there are four major types of grief which are acute, anticipatory, sudden and complicated. The helping process is explained as well as some disorders related to grief. A current trend for grievers is to seek involvement in programs such as the Canadian Cancer Society, Missing Children of Canada and Victim Services. These organizations provide counseling services and crisis
People tend to deal or cope with death in a variety of ways, ranging from a very pleasant or healthy way to destructive. It really depends on how mentally strong and how much support you collect from family member, close friends, or possibly people who have dealt with similar trauma. Joe Manetti from “Always a Motive,” and Eric Clapton, singer and songwriter of “Tears in Heaven,” display quite an army of differences. However, they make it visible that they are not to different from one another. Clapton exposes that he is able to make it through such rough times by writing music. Joe Manetti on the other hand struggles with living with his misery because he does not have a strong outlet of emotions like Clapton does . Grief can be a

Arriving on the scene we saw several sheriffs, deputies and officers on scene, hiding behind cars, windows and even standing in the doorway of the building. As they shouted to the 60-year-old man to put the gun down, I guess he responded with threats and just seconds later, the world stood still as multiple shots were fired as he went down.
Stan and I first met at a Pet Supplies Plus in Chardon, I remember originally being a little weary of him because of his awkward disposition, but nevertheless we became fast friends. Stan was a small vibrant fellow with a love for swimming, but one day Stan was attacked by a fellow named Kyle. Suddenly the Stan I once knew and loved was gone, he no longer possessed a love for swimming and the vibrancy he once had was no longer there. Seeing Stan rapidly deteriorate, I realized I needed to emotionally prepare myself for his imminent passing. To come to terms with this notion I went through three of the five stages of grief.

The stages of mourning and grief are universal and are experienced by people from all walks of life. Mourning occurs in response to an individual’s own terminal illness or to the death of a valued being, human or animal. There are five stages of normal grief that were first proposed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book “On Death and Dying.”
According to Kübler-Ross (as cited in Feldman, 2011), there are five steps taken toward death (Feldman, 2011, p. 609). These steps are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance (Feldman, 2011, p.615). Denial is a defense mechanism that gives the person time to adjust their thinking in-order to cope (Feldman, 2011, p. 610). Anger is a normal method of diverting pain and usually indicates an

The poem that I have selected for this essay is “Talking to Grief” by Denise Levertov. I chose this poem because it talks about grief. It also talks about the place that grief should have in a person’s life. The poem describes grief, and compares it to a “homeless dog.” It also describes how a dog deserves its own place in the house, instead of living under a porch or being homeless. This poem talks about how a person can be aware that grief is present, but that it is not always acknowledged and accepted. We all experience grief in different ways, and for different reasons. Everyone deals with grief in their own personal way. This poem describes a point in a person’s life when they are ready to accept grief as a part of their life
