LIFE EXPECTANCY: 77.9 YEARS
Up to 6 months, a loss brings no response due to undeveloped memory capacity for specific personal relationships
Up to 6months, there is not ability to conceptualize death
From 6 months to 1 year, a loss like separation, may be felt, if at all as a vague absence or experimental sense of something different
DEATHBIRTH TO 1 YEAR
Main concern is separation fear (less alive)
Death of the primary caregiver will usually result in displeasure and depression
Do not really understand or attribute meaning to it
Influenced by the parent's tense and emotional response to a death in the immediate family
DEATH1 TO 2 YEARS
Pre-school , children are concerned with getting hurt and the pain associated with it. Are concerned about punishment or wrong doings
They have seen death portrayed on TV or movies; they have a vivid imagination and can dream or become frightened of what they believe
May see death as temporary and happens to other people
4-6 year olds may want to talk about it
DEATH 2-6 YEARS
6-8 years an understanding of death is developing. There is an interest in the physical and biological aspects of death. Magical thinking – thoughts can make things happen
By 9 the concept of death is similar to an adult, but only happens to other people. Ghost figures
9-12 see death as final . Awareness of personal death,
but a distant possibility for adolescents
because they think they are invincible
DEATH6-12 YEARS
Teens struggle with finding the meaning of life. Death is now viewed abstractly.
They think of themselves as immortal. (Still happens to others)
Death is romanticized as beautiful and tragic; paradoxically a gesture that will endure.
DEATH12 - ADOLESCENCE
View death according to their perspective on life
They are building their life. May think of death if someone their age dies.
Middle age focus on their changing body. They think about their own mortality. Their parents are dying, evaluation of their values and priorities.
The older adult they will die and talk about death and their final wishes.
Culture and religion influence it.

FEELINGS OF DEATH AND DYING
DR. ELIZABETH KUBLER-ROSS
By studying the child’s reaction to separation from the mother compared this to patterns of adult grief.
Child’s initial reaction is to
Stage I protest (angry, crying)
Stage II is despair (quiet, sad and subdued)
Stage III is detachment (the child is not interested
when the mother returns)
With an adult (4 stages)
1.Numbing stage (protective mechanism)
2. Painful stage (magnitude of the loss)
3. Disorganization and despair (anger)
4. Reorganize and adapt (requires support and encouragement from friends)

RIGHT TO DIE HOSPICE - PAGE 249
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances,
than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It
will make or break a company... a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes
ATTITUDE BY CHARLES SWINDOLL
