After reading this article, it went over the different stages of grief. Everyone is different when it comes to losing someone close. People can go back and forth through the stages. Sometimes the process can last forever than others. It is important to understand that people can get stuck in one stage and would have trouble reaching the end goal of acceptance. Not only does this process occur in adults, it can occur with children too but the process might look different compared to adults. I've seen close family go through this process as a little kid. Seeing my father lose his dad due to liver cancer was hard on him. As a little kid, I never knew what was going on inside his head. I was very little at the time never remember seeing my grandfather often so I couldn't feel the same pain as my father. Sometimes my dad and his siblings would grief whenever we brought up the idea of growing the family as that was something my grandfather wanted but could never see. Overall, this is an important topic to understand. To see and process what is going on in someone's life or even your life when losing a loved one.

As a person ages, the heart and blood vessels start to gradually change over time. The heart muscles change to adjust to the increased workload, and the heart rate at rest won't increase during activities as much as it used to. These changes increase the risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) and other cardiovascular problems. Still, there are measures you can take to promote heart health, including staying physically active/participating in physical activity, eating healthy, staying away from alcohol and smoking, managing stress, and sleeping.

The brain changes more than any other part of the body throughout our lifetime. The size of the brain increases to about 90% of its original volume by the age of 6. However, the frontal lobes which are the areas that control planning, memory, and impulse control are the last areas to develop, not fully developing until around age 35. That being said, the brain ages naturally which is the cause of some symptoms we associate with old age such as memory loss, slowing down, or just overall function which has been linked to the way the brain shrinks as time goes on. There are many ways to delay the effects of this aging such as exercise, having a healthy diet, and other therapy methods. There are many studies going on today and the healthcare field is forever becoming more knowledgeable about the brain and its development.
