Mr. Gotcher is in compliance with his treatment plan this reporting period. He has not had any known incidents that have raised concern with regard to the safety of others in the community, self, and the staff at Ambitions.

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

Despicable. A stronger word need to be invented to describe the intense immense suffering Elie Weisel was forced to endure. Grief is a highly complex subject that needs to be sensitively approached like how an adept surgeon would reattach frayed nerve endings. There is no textbook answer that will "fix" things. Each person uniquely responds to grief and trauma. The intensity of grief will often fade over time but there is no guarantee of it disappearing. I would approach Wiesel with these thoughts in mind and would have prayed for the Lord's guidance ahead of time. I would also have a few of my brothers and sisters in Christ praying for Elie as our conversation took place. The first thing I would do is tell him how sorry

Loss of a significant other, especially a spouse, is considered one of life’s most stressful events. While it may be difficult, bereavement is an event that all people experience at some point in their lives. The time frame in which the loss occurs and how the individual reacts to it has been the subject of many research studies. Researchers have investigated if people grieve differently because of biological reasons or do their personality traits dictate how the loss is mourned. I will explore the biological impact of grief and the personality aspects in grieving.

On the other hand, Kübler-Ross and her stage theory have helped countless people through the grieving process. All the stages identify the emotions and decisions that people make when they are grieving. They simply fall short of details. There needs to be more than what she states. The individual person must be taken in to account. Yes, the stages occur but are they really stages or more of a guideline of what you might experience over a time of grieving that is specific to each person.

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).

Grief will eventually affect everyone. It is a part of life that people like to avoid, but are never able to. Grief occurs when a person looses a loved one, an animal, if they are diagnosed with a terminal illness, going through a break up, or anything that makes a person feel a deep sorrow. In Chapter 13 of Medical Law and Ethics (pg. 337), The Five Stages of Dying or Grief is discussed. In this Chapter, it breaks down the Five Stages of Grief a patient, caregiver, friend, or family member may go through.

Grief is a painful process that should not be rushed. There are a wide range of emotional, physical, behavioral cognitive, interpersonal, and spiritual symptoms when dealing with

I have experienced grief in my life already more than a couple of times, and all being due to different types of unfortunate events occurring. Though, I specifically remember going through every step in the grieving process after the death of my good friend Sam. When my best friend Jacob woke me up with a call to inform me that Sam was dead, I literally thought he was kidding. In my mind at

Grief is a deep sorrow, most likely with someone’s death. Death itself is hard, especially if you lose someone very close and important to you. With death comes grief, which can be very hard to deal with. You have trouble communicating, even to your close friends. You also don’t feel like doing much. Going out or having fun just seems unimportant, or

Having to experience the death of a loved one is an extremely devastating thing one has to experience in life. It can affect people in many different ways as well. A majority of people who experience this will probably have different reactions and obstacles to overcome. I know the feeling, because I went through the pain as well. A few years ago, my grandma passed away due to Alzheimer's, and it was a somber time for my family. Even to this day, we still honor her every year, when my family gathers together to remember her in her day of passing.

Most of us will face the death of a close loved one at some point. Whether you have time to see it coming and say your goodbyes or it comes on instantly as a total surprise does not change the fact that it hurts, a lot! My first experience with the death of a close friend made me face versions of emotions I had never experienced before and frankly am not good at relating to others. I say versions because most of us have felt sadness, shock and anger before for many different reasons but these emotions take on whole new forms when they are tied to the death of a loved one.

A death in the family is never easy to overcome so it affected me in many different ways. Since that was the first time I had experienced someone die, it took me some time to fully understand what had happened. After finally understanding that, I began to develop guilt for never letting go of a grudge I had acquired when he broke my bike. Unfortunately, my mourning time was cut short since seeing my dad cry for the first time ever was very painful and made me realize that no one knows whether or not they will wake up the next morning so I had to somehow

I have had many experiences with the death of loved ones and I can relay to you that it takes a huge toll on the heart. Everyone has different ways of dealing and coping with death. All the tears crying brings also the grieving and sadness. But the grieving will not get them back but it is just our human reaction. One of the things
