I picked the article, “Grief Without Belief: How Do Atheists Deal With Death?” because, growing up in a Catholic household, I too was curious about how atheists cope with death. I liked and agreed with what Ali Rizvi said about finding comfort in facts. It is a lot easier to feel safe when you know undoubtedly that something is true. For all we know, the stories that got passed down could have gotten distorted as year went by. I, however, did not like what was said about having a physicist speaking at your funeral. Saying things like people who are dead live on because of the conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics is very impersonal. If my child is to die before me, I would not want some man coming at me with scientific

Grief, anger, crying, despair and loneliness are just to name a few of the symptoms of one would feel at the loss of a loved one.

Depression often occurs in minority populations due to direct and/or perceived occurrences of racism. A study of Chicago minority adolescents found that a majority experience discrimination, but less than half of those instances were rated “somewhat” or “very disturbing” (Tobler et al., 2013, p. 347).  Regardless of how adolescents rated discrimination experiences, Tobler et al. (2013) concluded that any direct or even perceived experience of racism contributed to mental health issues.  Adolescents who experience racism also report higher rates of high risk behaviors including suicide ideation (Tobler et al., 2013).  Kim (2014) also notes that “perceived discrimination” increases behavior problems

I would like to explore the two grief theories, Dual Process Model and Meaning Reconstruction as they pertain to losing my father to suicide. I will try to uncover some ways these theories related to my experience, and I will also attempt to address the language surrounding suicide to distinguish it as a “unique grief”. And lastly, I will discuss how my personal grief experience may affect my work as an art therapist through artistic exploration.

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

Grief is defined as a type of emotional or mental suffering from a loss, sorrow, or regret (Dictionary.com, LLC, 2010). Grief affects people of all ages, races, and sexes around the world. Approximately, 36% of the world’s population does or has suffered from grief and only a mere 10% of these people will seek out help (Theravive, 2009). Once a person is suffering from grief it is important to receive treatment. All too often, people ignore grief resulting in deep depression, substance abuse, and other disorders (Theravive, 2009). Grief counseling is very common and can be very helpful to a person in need of assistance. Grief counseling provides the support, understanding, and
