Document Summary
Trajectory of dying (dying trajectory): the pattern or course of dying over time, for example, sudden death or slow decline. Life review: a dying person looks over his or her life, seeks a conviction that one"s life has had meaning and purpose, ties up loose ends, achieves acceptance of the life lived, and prepares for death. Ego integrity: the acceptance of the notion that one"s life cycle is something complete and unique. Bereavement: the state of having recently experienced the death of a loved one. Grief: a sense of profound loss and the experience of deep sorrow. Mourning: the public expression of grief typically following social and cultural rules. Anticipatory grief: grief experienced prior to and in anticipation of the death of a loved one. Disenfranchised grief: grief declined by society as illegitimate and therefore unacknowledged because society defines the relationship between the grieving person and the decreased as insignificant.
