Grief plays a big part in one’s life, it not only connect with bereavement but also respond to any significant loss. It is a natural response of human to separation or loss of a loved one (Lake 1984). There are several models and theories that tried to explain the process of grief. In this essay the author will discuss Kubler-Ross model, commonly known as “The Five Stages of Grief”. Then will explore a case study of a terminally ill person who experienced these five stages of grief. Kubler-Ross model of grief first introduced by Dr Elisabeth Kubler Ross in 1969, through her book ‘On Death and Dying’ (Herbet et al 2011). This model was developed in favor of terminally ill patients. They include: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance popularly known as DABDA. Kubler-Ross emphasized in her book that, all these five stages might not go through all dying person. It is not necessary to happened in sequence as it is set out and also can occur more than one stage at any given time. Denial – Denial is a temporary psychological defense mechanism, can be conscious or unconscious refusal of accepting reality. It is a temporary stage soon be replaced with partial acceptance. During the stage of denial, the person may be respond at first for being powerless with shock or numbness (Kubler Ross and Kessler 2005). In- order to face reality most of the terminally ill people defense the situation in different ways like- alternative medicine, faith healing, following…

narratives of events. In some cases, individual family members have undergone little or, conversely, extensive therapy, resulting in a perspective that cements what may be an individual perspective, leaving out the multiple and diverse perspectives of other family members. In these cases, bringing family members together can create a shared view allowing for a collective narrative to be reached; an important piece of the recovery process. When a family without support tries to make sense of…

One of the most well-known and infamous organized crime families in the history of the United States is the Bonanno crime family. The Bonanno Italian mafia crime family’s origins go back to the beginning, in Sicily. In 1908 Salvatore Bonanno moved his family to New York.

This also protects yakuza members as the legit business creates a problem for authorities to identify criminals. There is also protection from gaining law enforcement kind of attention.…

” Will believes that “the general shortening of sentences reflects, in part, a change in nature of Inaugural Addresses.” He refers to Teddy Roosevelt who called the presidency “a bully pulpit.” Later addresses have had an incentive to tell Americans how to behave with phrases such as “The only thing we have to fear…” and “Ask not…” A more popular phrase which was used by Kennedy and Nixon was “Let us…,” which according to Will means, “For Pete’s sake, pull up your socks and shape up.” The…

How to ruin a child In the article it’s told that “the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase in tandem is false” (George F. Will). Which is why some children soccer teams stopped counting goals and shower trophies on everyone, or that they even in physical education classes’ students are jump roping without rope. He says children are jumping rope without ropes because of self-esteem obsession and the list goes on, such as opening lunchboxes to find handwritten notes…

I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…
