Bereavement means to be deprived of someone by death. The death of someone you love is one of the greatest losses that can occur.

Page 4: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

Feelings of bereavement can also

accompany other losses,

the loss of your health

the health of someone you care about

the end of an important relationship,

through divorce.

Page 5: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

In our day to day lives,

loss affects each of us on

some scale. There can

be smaller losses such as

dropping some loose change

from a pocket, or a slight

scratch on a brand car.

Page 6: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

At other times there may

be significant losses, such

as a house burning

down, the loss of

eyesight, or even the

death of a loved one.

Page 7: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

The death of a loved one is

always difficult, particularly

when it is sudden or

accidental. Your relationship

to the person who has died

will greatly influence your

reaction to the loss.

Page 8: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

The loss of a husband or wife is particularly hard. The surviving spouse will usually have to deal with a multitude of decisions regarding funeral arrangements, finances, and other legalities at a time when they may feel least able to deal with such matters.

Page 9: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

The bereaved

spouse may

also have to

explain the

death to

children and

help them

through their

grief.

Page 10: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

In addition to the severe

emotional trauma, the

death may lead to financial

problems if the deceased

spouse was the family's

main source of income.

Regardless of the cause of death, or the age of the child, this is an emotionally devastating event that overwhelms a parent.

Page 12: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

. A child's death arouses an overwhelming sense of injustice—for lost potential, unfulfilled dreams, and senseless suffering.

Parents may feel responsible for the child's death, no matter how irrational that may seem.

Parents may also feel that they have lost a vital part of their own identity.

No matter what age the person age is —young or old, single or with a family of his own—he will still be deeply affected by the death of his mother or father

Page 14: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

When his mom or dad dies, it may be one of the most emotional losses he'll experience in life. It is only natural to feel consumed by a combination of pain, fear, and deep sadness at the loss of such a significant influence in his life.

When person lose a parent, he

may also lose a lifelong friend,

counselor, and adviser.

Therefore, he may suddenly

feel very much alone, even if

he has the support of other

family and friends.

Then person will experience what is called secondary loss. This is when he may begin to think of all the upcoming experiences that his parent will not be there to share in. Things like career accomplishments, watching his own children grow, and other milestones.

For every suicide it is claimed that on average six people suffer intense grief. Those affected include parents, partners, children, siblings, relatives, friends, coworkers, and clinicians.

Page 18: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

Coping with bereavement

through suicide can be more

difficult than dealing with

other losses because of the

feelings of stigmatization,

shame, guilt, and rejection

that are often experienced.

Page 19: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

The stigma that still attaches to deaths by suicide in many cultures can increase the bereaved person's sense of isolation and vulnerability.

The death of a pet

will often mean the

loss of a cherished

family member and

can trigger great

sorrow. People love

their pets and

consider them

members of their

family.

Page 21: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

it's not unusual to feel

overwhelmed by the intensity of

his sorrow about pet’s death.

Animals provide companionship,

acceptance, emotional support,

and unconditional love during the

time they share with that person

Page 22: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

. Other people may find it hard to

understand such a reaction to what they

may see as the loss of "just an animal,"

and they may, therefore, be less

understanding of his grief.

However, his loss is significant and person

should give his self permission to mourn

the passing of his beloved pet.

Anticipatory grief is the normal mourning that occurs when a patient or family is expecting a death. Anticipatory grief has many of the same symptoms as those experienced after a death has occurred.

Page 24: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

Anticipatory grief includes depression, extreme concern for the dying person, preparing for the death, and adjusting to changes caused by the death.

It can give the family time to get used to the reality of the impending loss.

Page 25: Bereavement  and causes  of bereavement

A person does not necessarily feel the same kind of grief before a death occurs as the grief felt after a death.

There is no set amount of grief that a person will feel. Grief experienced before a death does not make the grief after that death easier or shorter in duration.
