Answer Below:
Concept 1: Death of grand-mother SUMMARY: Death is the permanent cessation of all biological functions. It is an irrevocable state and results in a permanent absence of consciousness. After death the body of the living organism is interred whole or cremated. After death there are mourning ceremony held in remembrance of the dead human being. PERSONALIZE: Me and my grand-mother were almost inseparable during my childhood. Listening bed-time stories from her was a daily ritual for me. One morning when I woke up, I came to know that she is no more in this world. She won’t respond to my voice and her body was cold. Her body was lying there in front of me with no sign of life. Her dead left me with a severe jolt and an experience of extreme pain. My heart felt heavy and I was unable to register what was going around me. I always thought of her as a perpetual being. I had never imagined even a day without her. When she died I was completely unprepared and could not believe that I won’t see her anymore. I was unable to express my feelings and did not even shed a single tear. I was in deep grief but did not talk to anyone for more than 5 days. I did not ask for help from anyone in coping with my loss. Because of not talking and not expressing my feelings I faced the problem of jaw-locking and later doctor advised me some compose medicines. After my grand-mother’s death I have realized that death is inevitable and everyone has to face it one day or the other. Secondly, I realized that not sharing your feeling with anyone is probably not the best way to cop with the loss or the trauma of a closed one’s death. If something traumatic has happened with you, it is best to share your feelings with your closed ones. References: Bernat, J.L., Culver, C.M., & Gert, B. (1982). DeÆning death in theory and practice.
