Grief Monologue

My mind began clearing and I realized what the captain had just asked of me. I knew what I needed to do to try and save the ship. I don't what made me, but I bolted towards the masts. I’m not even sure how I made it there. The constant rocking of the ship threw me off balance with almost every step, but still I powered on.

One of the concepts that people do not understand about grief and loss is the general idea of what it is and how it impacts people. According to Teen Health and Wellness’s article “Grief and Loss: Experiencing Loss,” is what happens when you no longer have something or someone that was extremely significant in your life, and the emotions that result are very real to you. You are entitled to these emotions. Many experts believe that the best thing for a person grieving to do is to let themselves feel sad. Lattanzi-Licht writes, common symptoms of grief are: “guilt or anger; restlessness; a sense of unreality about the loss; difficulty sleeping, eating and concentrating; mood changes; a loss of energy; constant thoughts of the

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

Whether it is over the death of a loved one or a very emotional situation, grief is inevitable. Most individuals experience a form of grief at some point in their lifetime. Coping with a distressing situation can be a very difficult task and there are many arguments as to whether there is a set and correct method on how to deal with grief or not. Many people have created a grieving process that includes going through certain stages in order. However, this proposed grieving method is no more than a false theory. Due to the fact that every single person grieves differently, there is no way to possibly set a specific way to grieve. “A Raisin in The Sun,” by Lorraine Hansberry and “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” by William Shakespeare both

Complicated Grief: A Sociological and Psychological Experience Define Complicated grief is defined as traumatic distress caused by the separation, due to the death, of a loved one that lasts longer than six months. Complicated Grief is specific to bereavement. Complicated Grief is often associated with loss surrounding a violent death such as suicide, violence, and accidental death (van Denderen et al.,2014). Complicated Grief may present itself through the symptoms of intense longing for the lost loved one, being overwhelming engrossed with thoughts of the lost loved one, and intrusive memories (Bui et al, 2013). Epidemiological Importance

Grief is a normal part of coping with a loss but for some people, it can be far more serious. In

Suddenly an incredible crack resonated throughout the ship, making everyone shudder. This sudden realisation of the imminent sinking sent everyone into panic. Many people made their way to the storage holds, grabbing as much gold as they could possibly carry. Others held their family in a soothing embrace, slowly lowering with the ship. Some jumped overboard, swimming away from the sinking boat, but quickly drowned in the freezing

Some individuals may struggle with the grieving process. Poor coping mechanisms can lead to major depressive disorders and even anxiety. Grieving individuals may exhibit signs and symptoms of poor physical health because they stop taking care of themselves. Widows and widowers have 8 to 50 times higher suicide rate than the overall population (Snyder, 2009).

As the stern of the ship went below the water it spiraled counter clockwise and piece by piece tore off every single

My life was flashing before my eyes, I was realizing what was happening death was coming. Cold and stillness filled the room while the feeling of death started to overtake my body it was a different feeling but it had to come. My limbs felt heavy and I thought real slow everything was slowing down. Just then something odd happened like nothing I ever thought some sound came into the room an annoying buzzing creature.

Grief is the act following the loss of a loved one. While grief and bereavement are normal occurrences, the grief process is a social construct of how someone should behave. The acceptable ways that people grieve change because of this construct. For a time it was not acceptable to grieve; today, however, it is seen as a necessary way to move on from death (Scheid, 2011).The grief process has been described as a multistage event, with each stage lasting for a suggested amount of time to be considered “normal” and reach resolution. The beginning stage of grief is the immediate shock, disbelief, and denial lasting from hours to weeks (Wambach, 1985). The middle stage is the acute mourning phase that can include somatic and emotional turmoil. This stage includes acknowledging the event and processing it on various levels, both mentally and physically. The final stage is a period of

To accept grief as part of our lives, we must first acknowledge the presence of grief. Grief is felt when there is a loss of something, or someone that is close to us. People feel, and deal with grief in different ways, including denial, and the lack of acknowledgement that something or someone has been lost. “I should not treat you like a homeless dog who comes to the back door for a crust, a meatless bone. I should trust you.” This first stanza of the poem tells us

As I wandered throughout the ball in my silky satin dress, a recent “mourning” widow as he “tragically” died, I was looking for a new husband. He left millions, enough for a belle like me to finally efflorescence and find my new victim. He was tall, and seemed lonely, the perfect victim. I’ve had to move towns a few times actually, because I was shamed by the towns as I had to move to remarry to be “socially acceptable”. I took their lives and their money.

why me? Of all people why'd you choose me? All the pain, the torture that you know I've been through and you still choose me to put more pain, more scars and the burden of death on. There is no more.. no more suffering.. no more trying.. only death.. this is my last goodbye before I exit the world..
