Grief and death literacy
Real frameworks and facts for understanding loss - not a substitute for professional grief support.
Understanding grief
- The five stages model — Kubler-Ross's denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance - and why grief rarely moves in a straight line.
- Complicated grief — When mourning becomes prolonged or disabling, and why professional support helps.
- Anticipatory grief — Grieving before a loss occurs, common with terminal diagnoses.
- Grief in children — How kids process loss differently at different ages.
Death literacy and planning
- Advance directives — Legal documents stating your medical wishes if you cannot speak for yourself.
- Hospice vs palliative care — Palliative care manages symptoms at any stage; hospice is end-of-life comfort care.
- Green burial — Natural burial without embalming or metal caskets, growing in popularity.
- Organ donation basics — How registration works and what can typically be donated.
Mourning across cultures
- Jewish shiva — A seven-day mourning period where family receives visitors at home.
- Dia de los Muertos — Mexican tradition honoring deceased loved ones with altars and offerings.
- Irish wake — A gathering to view the body and share stories before burial.
- Buddhist funeral rites — Rituals emphasizing impermanence and support for the deceased's next journey.
