The Dynamics Of Death And Dying

By Kenneth Braddy


As we live, we cultivate death. Death is the inevitable end that every one is destined to go through. As per the well-known Japanese novelist, Haruki Murakami, death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. It's a truth that we can't change. Consequently when we undergo a death of next of kin, comrade, family member, colleague or a cherished one it translates into a painful impact in our lives. The type of pain and sorrow that is too deep, neither kindness nor substance can cure. Nonetheless, we don't have a choice but to undergo the course and realise something from it. Bereavement is a natural course that enables us to ponder and in due course be at peace enough to go on.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss American psychiatric specialist who established quite a few near death studies, there is what we call "The Five Stages of Grief", in her theory she explained that not every person can actually experience all phases, nor in particular order but it is the usual reaction to loss, sickness or passing away.

The 5 stages of grieving is normally recognised as the acronym DABDA. Letter D, that is the first phase, stands for denial. This phase is characterised by the temporary conscious and unconscious defence mechanism of denial. Letter A, the second stage, stands for anger. This stage is characterised by a strong feeling of rage towards oneself or to other people in attempt to discharge tension that's brought about by the stressful incident. Letter B, the third period, stands for bargaining. This phase is characterised by extreme feeling of hope that it is likely to postpone or negotiate the condition. Letter D, the fourth stage, stands for depression. The phase is characterised by feelings of sorrow, pain, remoteness and dread. The last letter A, that is the fifth and last stage, stands for acceptance. This period is characterised by gradual acceptance of the situation and the person starts to move on.

As human beings, we have high regards our loved-ones, in relationship to that, we execute a funeral home Singapore rite to remember the life of the individual who died. Funeral home in Singapore gives a comprehensive coverage and concern regarding the customs, beliefs, practices and religion of the departed. In fact, funeral home Singapore like Mount Vernon Singapore regards the religion of dead people by offering culture sensitive rites like Buddhist, Taoist, Christian or Catholic funeral rites services.

With no a shadow of doubt, losing a cherished one can be emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually demanding. So preparing for the funeral is quite overwhelming. Nowadays, funeral planners have been geared up to provide a decent, peaceful and beautiful funeral rite. This includes doctor's documentation of death, carrying of the departed's remains to the funeral home, sale and servicing of casket (for cremation or burial), clothes for the departed also known as Shou Yee, funeral auto, ceremonial practices and ceremonies, floral decoration, food services and photography remembrance.
