Death, Dying, and Grief

The required references for this week discuss death, dying, grief, and bereavement.

In your initial post to this discussion:

• Identify an issue associated with grief at one developmental stage: childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, adulthood, or later adulthood.
• Describe a scenario in which an individual is dealing with the issue you identified.
• Explain how you would counsel the individual in the scenario you have described.
• Provide one Internet resource to help an individual or family deal with death.

In your responses to no fewer than two of your classmates, compare and contrast your respective choices and descriptions of grief-related issues and your recommendations to the individual under examination. Additionally, identify any insights you have gained as a result of reading the responses of others.
