The Loss Of A Family

Poe is suggesting that the impact of losing a loved one can be something that you will never forgot. For example in his poem “Annabel lee” he says “ for the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams of the beautiful annabel lee”. This quote can show how he states you can never forgot a loved one because he is reminded of her by just the moonlight alone showing that other things remind him of her telling us that he will never forgot about her. This can also be an example for the general audience of this poem because it can tell the audience how hard it is to forgot about a loved one because you are reminded of them daily by the smallest things. Another example of Edgar Allen Poe showing us that you can never forget a loved one is this quote

Losing someone can be very hard; however, especially if they were suffering when they were alive or just didn’t want to live anymore, it is comforting knowing that they aren’t suffering anymore-they are at peace. When my great grandmother was still alive, she was suffering from depression and just wasn’t in good health. Anyone could tell she wanted to die to be with her husband, my great grandfather. Knowing that she is happier now and not suffering anymore, puts me at ease. She lived her life as a strong women and very brave. I am proud to be her great

Death is apart of our world, we have people being born, and dying each day. When we are personally affected by death this is the point in time where we start to question God an ask him why he has taken someone we loved so dearly way from us and this world. Everyone is affected by death at one point in their lives either it being by losing a grandparent, a mother or father or a sibling, to even a close friend. Death can either be expected or very unexpected. After losing someone if it was prepared or not; there are many emotions that one goes through, they also have to confront death and go through the healing process.

Five stages of grief were identified by Dr. Kubler-Ross; Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Everybody will grieve in their own unique way, and the order of the five stages may differ from everybody. Some people may not even go through certain stages at all. Grieving helps us get through a rough time whether is finding out a love one has passed or even your own dying process.

This made me think about what I would do if my mother died. I believe I would probably be very sad, but I would also keep moving in life. I can’t just stop what I am doing because someone has died -- my aunt’s death already taught me that. Everyone has to go sometime; that time will come sooner or later -- it’s inevitable. Starting anew every time someone close dies is a bad idea, because one will never get anything done that way. (84

Death can be divided into two broad categories: anticipated and unanticipated. As cited in Bouchal, Rallison, Moules, and Sinclair (2015), Aldrich (1974) defines anticipatory grief (AG) as “any grief occurring prior to a loss, as distinguished from the grief which occurs at or after a loss.” (p.44). Similarly, as noted in Al-Gamal and Long (2010), Worden (2003) defines AG as “an active process of grieving that occurs prior to actual loss” (p.1981) Reynolds and Botha (2006) mention Clayton’s (1973) definition of unanticipated death (UD) as less than 5 days, while Merriam Webster (2016) defines unanticipated as “not expected or anticipated”. Grief that results from this type of death is unanticipated grief (UG). INSERT BIT ABOUT COPING SKILLS???

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.

In the autumn of 2013 my beloved grandmother suffered from many medical complications. After discovering esophageal cancer, surgery to remove it caused a tear in her esophagus, which led to numerous health hazards. As a result, the cancer spread throughout my grandmother’s bloodstream and it was impossible to maintain her health. By October of the same year, she fought to maintain her optimistic personality that I admired so dearly as a child. There was nothing more the doctor’s could do and while she wasn’t able to speak clearly, she understood the circumstances completely. As my mother asked her if she was ready to rest she pointed up to the heavens with her eyes closed. As we said our goodbyes she was given morphine until she was no longer with us. To force my grandmother to suffer and endlessly wait for healing would have been selfish of us. It is hard for those of us who are healthy to consider death as a logical option in crucial situations. While it is a difficult concept to grasp, in certain circumstances it is the better

Grieving depends upon a number of factors such as individual personality, life experience and faith. Healing happens little by little, some may grieve in weeks while some may grieve in years. Patience is imperative in the healing process; it allows the process to unfold naturally.

Grief and loss has been huge part of my life. Although my youngest uncle was killed in Iran-Iraq war; before I was born, he was always part of our lives because of my mom. My first experience of actual loss was my grandpa’s death. I was six-year-old. We were on vacation in another state in Iran, while he had a heart attack, and died immediately. It was such a shock for everybody. My mom got informed by her uncle that day, but it took us 12 hours drive to get back to our hometown. I still remember my mom cried, and moaned the entire time. My dad’s parents died before I was born, so my mom’s dad was the only grandpa that I knew. It was really hard for me to not have him in my life, though I couldn’t talk about it with my mom. In my culture, we

Each individual sees death differently, but what is more fascinating is that most of us have experience the feeling of loss when we were young and the way we think now than back at that age is different. When I was a preschooler, I remember that I was not fazed by the loss of a grandfather, but when my dog died, I cried

Grief can cause an individual to experience a list of negative effects, it can completely devastate a person both physically and emotionally. Some individuals might seem like they are healthily handling grief physically, but emotionally that person might be crippled to the point of no return. Several factors can have an effect on the severity of the grief a person is experiencing, these could be how close they are to the person who died, how the person died, and how the people around them grieve. Death can come at anytime, it can be sudden without any warning, one moment they are here and the next they aren't, the suddenness of death can be what really shocks people. If it isn't obvious at this point I have dealt with death in the past, my mother passed away when I was seven years old. I can't say that it hasn't invoked pain upon me, because that's simply not true, but I haven't let this incident completely control my life.

Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about is very painful. You may experience all type of different emotions are normal reactions. Grief is a natural response to loss. Grieving is a personal experience. How we grieve depends on our personality and coping style, our life experience and our faith. The grieving process takes time. There is no normal time for grieving. Some people start to feel better within weeks or even months. But for others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your experience is, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow to naturally take its course. Some never totally recover from the loss of a loved one.

Death of a loved one can be overwhelming. The world changes for those in grief. While some may be grateful that loved one is no longer suffering, countless others were not prepared for a family member or friend’s life to end. Maybe the death was sudden or sudden, the child died, nobody can prepare those left behind for the anguish of experiences. Grief often lies beyond words, beyond the simple explanation of of our conscious minds. It is in the unconscious, the mystery of life, that expression the deep wounds and traged of lossis found (Earl, 2007).

Typical to initially not fully process the reality of death and to be preoccupied with arranging funeral, greeting friends/relatives, and getting financial affairs in order
