Coping with Loss
If you have experienced or pretend the death of a friend or family member, what would be your experience? If you have not had a close experience, describe the experience of a friend or someone else you know.
Ans) Loss takes many shapes.
- Sometimes loss takes the shape of someone we knew well. It’s tangible and detailed and reflects many of the specific things we miss about that person, like the smell of their favorite detergent, the way they always sang slightly off key, and the corny jokes they couldn’t help but tell. These are the intimate details we grieve when a familiar loved one who occupied a particular space in our life dies.
- Other times, when a person mourns someone they didn’t know as well, loss takes the shape of something a little more abstract and theoretical. They grieve for how the relationship could have been, should have been, or would have been had things been different. In these instances, the loss is very much real, though it may feel hard to define.
- Grief over the loss of someone you didn’t know, or hardly knew, can occur in a hundred different ways, but for our purposes, I think we can split it up into two main categories.
- The first category is when someone grieves a person who they were aware of, but who they were not connected to in any way – such as when a celebrity dies.
- You might experience:
• shock and feelings of unreality, particularly in the days
after the death
• intense sadness, which can feel overwhelming
anxiety, either general or about something specific
• worries about your own mortality
anger and irritation – you may find yourself arguing unexpectedly
with people you’re close to guilt feelings of hopelessness and
depression
• a need to be supportive of others and suppress your own
grief
• some relief, perhaps if the person had been ill for a long
time.

Consider an argument that you recently had with a friend, co-worker, supervisor, family member or someone else. Identify the fundamental issue of the argument and then present the argument in the form of deductive logical argument, making sure to clearly identify the premises and conclusion. Is this argument a valid argument? Is the argument sound? Why or why not?
Reflect on the last time you, a family member or a friend was feeling ill. What were the signs and symptoms experienced? Post the scenario, describe at least 2 signs and symptoms and assign the appropriate ICD-10-CM codes.
Think of an experience you, a family member, or a friend has had with healthcare. Gauge the experience against the Institute of Medicine (IOM)'s six aims, and identify any opportunities for improvement.
Please generate examples from your own experience when you have experienced diffusion of responsibility. Some examples might include seeing someone fall and assuming that someone else would help, and rubber necking a traffic accident without calling 911. Given what you know now about the bystander effect and related variables, how can you behave differently in these situations?
