Grief and Loss
Different people deal with death differently. However, it's common for us to grieve and
mourn when we lose someone we loved. In describing how society view death, the class
textbook (Broderick & Blewitt, 2020) note that “Death clearly represents unknown territory, and
it is difficult to comprehend a more painful or stressful life event than the prospect of dying or of
losing a loved one.” When we lose a close relative or friend, we tend to suffer loss, which causes
us to suffer grief. Magill (2019) describes grief as a universal reaction to loss and which is
characterized by active distress and protest. Different people tend to define death in different
ways, depending on the perspective they see it. Death and grief are also defined differently
across cultures. Over the years, different religious and secular customs have grown up around the
grieving process in an attempt to help people survive the rigors of suffering and to give meaning
to death.
