Tasks of grief
How do we cope when someone close to us has died?
Kübler-Ross drew attention to the process of dying and described a five-stage grief model:
- denial
- anger
- bargaining
- depression
- acceptance
By focusing on the tasks of grief, we are given a more active view of grief work, rather than the somewhat passive stage model. The four tasks of grief (Worden, 1991) are:
- to accept the reality of the loss;
- to work through the pain of grief;
- to adjust to an environment in which the deceased is missing;
- to emotionally relocate the deceased and move on with life.
There are three groups of factors which influence the grief process (Parkes 1998) :
- antecedent factors, such as childhood losses, relationship with the deceased and mode of death;
- concurrent factors such as socio-economic status;
- and subsequent factors as in social support and new life opportunities
