Discuss a loss you have encountered in the past. It can be the loss of a person or a pet. Discuss the loss using Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of dying. Explain what happened, and then explain what you experienced in the different stages. Discuss whether or not palliative care was involved and any effects this had on you or others as caregivers. Evaluate the caregivers in this situation. What characteristics make good caregivers in cases of terminal illness, death, and dying? Were these characteristics present in this situation? Are there any implications of this situation that you can apply in your future life or career?
