people cope with death and significant loss in their lives making them aware of the standard responses to these situations Rev defined grief as the emotional physical mental and spiritual stress resulting from the loss separation or death of an object person or value The way that we will respond to these losses depends on how closely related we were to the object or person that we lost he

be experienced Intermittently for a twoyear period but not in regular sequence It Is Important to allow oneself to go through the grief process without restric tion he said We must be patient with those who are going through the grief process because Ihcy have the necessity of expressing their pain by talking others about their loss in order to be healed There is a need at the beginning of the
