Grief And Bereavement Analysis

226 Words1 Page

I assume that the reason parents try and grieve with the loss of a child by virtual memorials is because virtual memorials shift death and bereavement from the private sphere of family and local community into the public largely unregulated spaces of the Internet. It is in human nature to want attention even if it is not from people you know. We are hardwired to give and help we just all change because of how we are treated; but at the end of the day everyone helps the person dealing with death. Another assumption is that people dealing with grief and bereavement should not use efforts of technology to help the pain but should use more of the traditional methods for help. I looked at multiple sites including sevenpounds.com, griefrecoverymethod.com

The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin tells about a Virginia Tech student who found comfort and distraction in social media. She felt that when she was having a hard time she would go onto one of her social media sites and “‘feel just a little more connected to people’”(Vicary and Fraley).

Each one of the connections wants to remember how fulfilling their friend’s or family’s life was. However, from a very early age, children are often spared and sheltered from the experience and only learn about death through “stories others [have] told [them] or depictions of deaths on television” (Warraich). These depictions associate death with only sadness and grief and are often overly dramatised and overly emotional. People learn how they should mourn from the examples they see on television.
