Even though grief, mourning, and bereavement are interconnected, they are all different in its unique ways, it demonstrates what the person feels when death has occurred, how the person copes with death. People deal with grief, mourning, and bereavement differently because everyone has different religion and cultures and have their own ideas and rituals about death.
In the poem, Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye, demonstrates that some of the wishes of a person who dies is not seeing their loved one cry on their grave or be sad in any way and to remember that they will always be there with them even if it’s not physically. Kastenbaum states, “that we are bereaved when a person close to us dies” (Kastenbaum, 342).
