Document Summary
Dying persons are living human beings: dying is a special situation in living, not the whole of life, death is the outcome of dying, not its equivalent. Coping: constantly changing cognitive & behavioral efforts to manage specific external &/or internal demands that are appraised as taxing or exceeding the resources of the person . Focusing on processes of coping, i. e. , the changing, dynamic nature of coping. Directing attention to the many, varied efforts that are central to coping. Underlining attempts to manage a stressful situation. Linking coping to efforts addressing specific demands that are perceived as stressful. Distinguishing coping from routine, automatized, adaptive behaviors. Taking care not to confuse coping processes with their outcomes. We are born with the ability to adapt to change, but we all must learn how to cope with loss. Coping with dying is multifaceted & involves more than 1: Listen carefully to what his or her coping reveals.
