For my research paper I have chose my topic on “Death, Dying, and Grieving.” My focus is specifically going to be on grieving, “coping with the death of someone else.” According to the National Institutes of Health, grief is the natural process that follows death of a loved one.
Many people believe it is a step by step process that one must go through at their own pace, and that by getting through each stage you can reestablish a normal life. Steps that seem to be universal from the majority of people I help include the shock and denial phase, the anger phase, the bargaining phase, sadness or depression phase, and then finally acceptance.
Recently I attended a funeral of a mutual friend from Ethiopia. It was much different from any funeral I have ever attended, so researching how different cultures cope with death of a loved one will also be very interesting. Finally I am interested in the psychological effects/benefits from mourning the loss of a loved one.

Consequently, different cultures follow the steps of grieving in a different manner………………………….
