The text puts more emphasis on denial as a method to cope with something internally and personalized vs the website it is just a generalization.]]> 2018-09-17 17:40:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282496837 rwatkins1113 https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282501063 The text and the book are touch on the same points that once reality sets back in after denial, anger is usually the emotion felt afterwards as they are unwilling to come to terms with what is happening. The website lists off more explanations as to cope with anger and to ease the stress. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282501063 rwatkins1113 https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282503916 The website is different to the book in that it lists that the person believes there is something that they could have done to change or postpone the outcome they have been presented with.]]> 2018-09-17 17:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282503916 rwatkins1113 https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282506364 The website differs from the book by listing two different forms of depression. One version is a practical depression where a person worries about the cost of their passing and is full of regret. The other form is a more private depression where a person prepares to say goodbye to their loved ones.]]> 2018-09-17 17:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282506364 rwatkins1113 https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282509344 The website goes further in depth than the book by offering the idea that not everyone will experience acceptance in the grieving process for a number of reasons. People that go through acceptance typically become more reclusive and have limited social interraction. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282509344 rwatkins1113 https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282516073 There is a predominant myth that negative emotions are the only way to process grief, where it is much healthier to have positive emotions to cope with a loss.

Another myth listed was that people are heavily resilient and after six months acute grief usually passes on its own. Few people have to go to therapy to help cope with their grief. 

People also believe that a widows grief will never pass and they will remain broken. The loss is forever but the acute grief will pass, and should a widower remarry it is frowned upon and seen as she or he must not have loved their lost partner. ]]> 2018-09-17 18:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rwatkins1113/eaiuvzvdfadp/wish/282516073
