The first quote that I would like to share due to it peaking my interest is from chapter 10.1 from page 444 this quote discusses in detail how children around the age of five view death as it states, "Children do not really begin to develop a concept of death until around age 5. Although they are already well aware of death, they tend to view it as a temporary, diminished state of living, rather than a cessation. A preschool-age child might say, "Dead people don't get hungry-well, maybe a little" (Kastenbaum, 1985, p. 629)." The reason why this quote peaked my interest was because I never thought about how soon or how late a child is able to develop the concept of death. Also, I never thought about how a child may view death or when able to somewhat comprehend what death is. The second quote that I would like to share due to it, peaking my interest is from chapter 10.2 page 451. This quote describes different type of depressive reactions to death, as it states, "Their depression may be reactive or preparatory. In reactive depression, the sadness is based on events that have already occurred: the loss of dignity with many medical procedures, the end of a job, or the knowledge that they will never return home. In preparatory depression, people feel sadness over future losses. They know that death will end their relationships and that they will never see future generations. The reality of death is inescapable in this stage, and it brings profound sadness over the unalterable conclusion of one's life." I chose this quote because it was new information to me. The different type of ways depression can be and how it affects an individual. For me, I feel like the way I deal with loss is in preparatory depression as I typically think and cope before an individual passes. The second quote that I would like to share due to it, peaking my interest is from chapter 10.3 page 458. this quote discusses how different individuals process death and how long it takes them as it states, "For some people (but not all), grieving may take considerably longer than a year. And some individuals experience complicated grief (or sometimes prolonged grief disorder), a type of mourning that continues unceasingly for months and years as we discussed in the previous chapter). An estimated 15 percent of those who are bereaved suffer from complicated grief (Maercker, Neimeyer & Simiola, 2017; Maccallum, Malgaroli, & Bonanno, 2017; Kokou-Kpolou, Megalakaki, & Nieuviarts, 2018)."Because I have dealt with loss before in my life, and I feel as though I have mourned in both ways where I took a short amount of time and a long amount of time this gave me more insight into why I may have more into the way I have and the difference between it.
