Relating

The five stages of grief relate to my career path as a nurse. I will witness my patients as well as their families go through the process of grief. I want to be a pediatric nurse. My article was about pediatric intensive care unit nurses. As a nurse one of my duties is to help the children and parents with the grieving process to assure the ending process is peaceful.

The Process of Dying

As a nurse, coping with a patient’s death may affect your well being as well, the process of dying may prolong for several days, weeks, and months.

Many are different, this is a reality that inevitably comes upon us, sometimes forewarned and other times when we least expect it.

But a nurse is also there to help family members grieve, leaving their own emotions aside because there are other patients that they have to take care of. .

Every person may not experience the exact same type of death, in a more clarifying view to understand death would be the process of dying before the final event occurs. A person’s physiological, social, and psychic death can occur at distinct timing.

Physiological Death: occurs when the vital organs no longer function, involving the digestive and respiratory system shutting down gradually.

Social Death: Social death occurs when others begin to withdraw from someone who is terminally ill or has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Those diagnosed with severe health conditions may find that friends, family members, and even health care professionals begin to have concerns and visit less frequently.

Psychic Death: when a person begins to accept death is near and withdraw with others, giving up their will to live.

Nurses position!

Nurses often enter their profession to save lives. This is what nursing is most often advertised as to the average consumer. You show up and do whatever it takes to help your patients improve their health and discharge out of the hospital either to home or to rehabilitation. Unless you are working in hospice, it’s infrequent that the acute care nurse will experience a patient reaching the end of life without a fight. This does, however, occasionally happen. Perhaps a patient in the ICU has been terminally extenuated. Perhaps treatment did not go well for an acute illness and the patient and family have decided they want to let things run their natural course. You, as the nurse, will be expected to know what to expect and how to explain it to the family.

Depression & Death

What Is Depression?

Depressed people may fail to live up to their potential, doing poorly in school and staying on the social margins. Depression is frequently ignored or untreated; the condition often prevents people from taking steps to help themselves. This is unfortunate, as effective help is available.

Signs of Depression:

1.Loss of pleasure in virtually all activities

2.Feelings of fatigue or lack of energy

3.Frequent tearfulness

4.Difficulty with concentration or memory

Suicide:

Suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people. A major cause of suicide is mental illness, very commonly depression.

Post-traumatic growth in adults who lost a parent in childhood

In the United States, at any given time, 3.5% of individuals, or roughly 2.2 million people, have experienced the death of one or both of their parents prior to reaching the age of 18 (Social Security Administration, [45]). Childhood bereavement, otherwise known as early parental death (EPD), has been identified as one of the most significant, stressful events that a child can experience (Melhem, Walker, Mortz, & Brent, [36]).

-Some have increased gratitude with a newfound belief that life is precious and with greater appreciation for loved ones. (Greene, 2017)

Findings from an online survey of 350 adults who experienced early parental death showed that current dispositional gratitude was positively correlated with psychological well-being and posttraumatic growth and negatively correlated with depression. (Greene, 2017)

Dispositional gratitude is distinct from the feeling of appreciation in the response to the action of another (McCullough, Kilpatrick, Emmons, & Larson, [35]) and from positive emotions such as hope, optimism, and trust.

Such a profound psychological event can threaten the emotional and social development of a child and can have enduring consequences (Osterweis, Solomon, & Green, [37])

Parentally bereaved children are more likely to suffer from lower self-esteem, diminished academic success, and lower self-efficacy when compared to similarly aged peers. (Dowdney, [10]) A child who has lost a parent or sibling is also at risk for anxiety, anger, guilt, peer-isolation, loneliness, and posttraumatic stress symptoms. (Christ, [ 7]; Haine, Ayers, Sandler, & Wolchick, [22]; Koehler, [31])
