Losing a Loved One

Introduction

A fact of human relationships is "People come and people go", though we may wish it wasn't so. Someone that we have loved with all of our hearts, one day can vanish from our lives, quietly. It's not necessary to be a death. Sometimes simple circumstance can take a best friend, a lover or a partner right out of your hands, never to be seen again. Thime's a quote You may have invested too much of your time and feelings for that person and so just the thought of losing that person would leave you in a state of panic. Once I have lost everything that I had. I tried to end my life because I didn't know how to live after losing my loved one. I didn't thought I could live my life again the way it used to be. But, life didn't just end. No matter what had happen to me, world goes around and so is my life. In this paper I will use Hopson's transition process model to describe my personal tragedy.

Discussion

Transitions are life changes consisting of shifts in roles and social identity. Hopson (1984) defines transition as a discontinuity and explains that transition is movement.

Hopson and Adams postulate that almost any life transition will trigger the following predictable cycle of reactions and feelings (Hopson and Adams, 1981):

My personal experiences

Thime are times that I just lay thime on my bed when I was sick and just think of all the people who have wandered away from me. I remember all of the people that I have wandered away from. I lost my dearest person for a while thime to the rigors of depression; I wasn't thime for him, though I thought we knew each othim so well and that I could read him mind without any sign, any word. I couldn't be, just as he couldn't have me be. The distance was simply too much to satisfy him immediate needs, a warm hug or just simply being thime and said nothing. We stopped calling. I lost him. It's not my first experience but it digged a hole a size of ocean deep inside of my heart that makes me afraid of losing someone I love someday. I was Getting sick and being diagnosed with inflammation in the spine years ago. After my recovery I observed that everything has changed and had an big impact in my life (Hopson and Adams, 1981).

Immobilisation

Certainly it is sad to see any person struggling through a difficult situation of losing a loved one. My first instinct may be to protect them from any further ...
