Grief and loss are so unique from person to person and are often, but not always, unrealistically portrayed in the movies. For the Stages of Grief/Loss assignment, select and watch a movie about grief and loss that depicts elements of the emotional struggles around death, dying, grief, and bereavement. I have provided you with a list of movies below if you need some ideas for selection of a movie. Once you watch the movie, complete the Word document below and upload to the correct assignment submission tab. You must submit as a .doc or a .docx file.

These are essay questions. A good rule of thumb is approximately one sentence per point is enough detail. Pay attention to how many points are associated with each question. Use complete sentences and correct spelling and grammar. This assignment is worth 100 points.
