1. (A. Wit)
Losing a loved one is a significant life event. There are many different theories on grief and bereavement. Bowlby describes grief as a process that moves through the stages of shock, protest, despair, and reorganization (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Recent research on grief suggests that emotional and behavioral symptoms are not predictable, nor do they need to occur in a linear fashion (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Counselors that are helping individuals cope with a loss should consider the developmental and cultural influences of each family member rather than prescribe a single grief process strategy.
Factors influencing individual reactions to illness and death
This assignment focuses on the differences in the grief process among family members. The case study describes a family of six: father, Victor; mother, Isabelle; son, Paul (51); daughter, Sophia (49); daughter, Lenore (45); and son, Joseph (45). Victor has just passed away after a difficult two-year battle with pancreatic cancer (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Unique factors influence how each family member is grieving.
Isabelle: older adult, married for 53-years (developmental factors); mother, co-worker, caregiver (social, resiliency factors); Italian (cultural factor)
Paul: Middle-aged adult, married, father with young children (developmental factors); loving son, business owner, oldest child (social, resiliency factors); Italian (cultural factor)
