The Five Stage Of Grief Analysis

Certain events and choices in life have a huge impact on the future. In A Walk to Remember, directed by Adam Shankman, the viewer is taken on a trip with Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter. Jamie is a sheltered pastor’s daughter, while Landon is popular at their school; a very unlikely couple. They go to the same high school, but the way the two meet is a bit unusual. Landon had gotten involved with a bad crowd, who peer pressured one of their classmates to jump off a bridge. He ends up in the hospital with injuries. Since Landon was involved in the accident he was made to volunteer in their school play and help tutor younger children. That’s where he gets to know Jamie. Landon has the lead in the play, and spends a lot of time with Jamie going over lines. He ends up falling in love with her, and defending her against bullies at their school. Later she reveals to him that she is sick with leukemia, and has no chance of recovering.

Death is a universally experienced phenomenon. In the United States alone, over 2.6 million people die each year (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015).

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.

Grief and loss are some of the most defining characteristics of the human experience. Therefore, dealing with grief and loss is one of the most important things humans must learn. While there are many approaches, Jennifer Kent uses her film The Babadook to suggest that suppression is not a healthy way to deal with grief. By thoughtfully planning the mise-en-scene, soundtrack, and narrative storytelling, Kent teaches viewers that suppression causes the inner monster to come out in all of us, just as it did to Amelia in The Babadook.

The Management of Grief, written by Bharati Mukherjee, is a story about the coming together of a group of people from different levels of cultures and backgrounds, most of which are from India and have relocated to Canada, that have lost family members instantaneously due to a Sikh terrorist attack on an airplane that their loved ones were on. Together, these survivors deal with their grief in different ways, none of which one could deny them the right of, as told in 3rd Person Narration by Shaila Bhave, the protagonist of the story. Although some would expect those dealing with a tragedy to act in certain ways, the author takes her readers on a journey portraying the reality that people manage grief in unexpected ways for different reasons,

Significant life events (SLE) can be any episode that may be positive or negative, impacting on an individual life, or reflecting as good and bad practice. For example, it may include underage pregnancy, coping with a staffing crisis, complaints or compliments received from workplace, breaches of confidentiality, a sudden unexpected death or hospitalisation.

Grief is a natural response and everyone deals with it in a different way. Some may go through it in order and others may skip some stages. There are five stages in the grieving process. The first stage of grief is disbelief.

In our bereavement, we spend different lengths of time working through each step and express each stage more or less intensely. The five stages do not necessarily occur in order. We often move between stages before achieving a more peaceful acceptance of death. Many of us are not afforded the luxury of time required to achieve this final stage of grief.

I laid in my bed, thinking over the past couple of hours. It had been rough. Earlier that night, when he first walked in, I knew something was wrong.

Death, we all hate it. Yet we try to avoid it, but it’s a natural part of life. Death is sneaky, it comes unexpected, but it is expected. We all go through a grieving process but some do not accept the fact of their loved ones dying. Some people even hallucinate their loved ones still being with them. In books like “bag of bones” death was unavoidable just like reality. People always avoid death as if it does not exist. The people that try to ignore death are the ones that have the hardest times dealing with the grieving process. The five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
