HDEV 365 Death, Dying, and Bereavement
Loss, grief, and mourning are part of the human condition. Death impacts not only the dying individual, but those who are a part of their lives as well. This course will explore the meaning of death within family and society, the physiological and psychological processes of dying, and various styles of mourning as bound by societal and familial cultures. Typical and atypical grieving will be studied as it applies to lifespan with a focus on loss later in life.
