Grief and Loss

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how mourning involves the active processes of coping with bereavement and grief. It looks at how the exact nature of both of the processes involved and the optimal outcome of this integration are still areas of considerable controversy and how each person experiences and expresses grief differently.

From the Paper:

"Grief occurs in response to the loss of someone or something, and may involve a loved one, a job, or possibly a personal phase or role, such as a student entering the workplace or an employee entering retirement (Coping pp). Although anyone can experience grief and loss, which can be sudden or expected, however, individuals are unique in how they experience this event (Coping pp). While grief is a normal and natural response to loss, individuals respond in a variety of ways, some are healthy coping mechanisms and some may actually hinder the grieving process (Coping pp)."
