Compare how children, adolescents, and adults respond emotionally to the experience of dying.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers to this question will vary but should include elements of the following:
Children who are dying tend to express fears of loneliness, separation, and abandonment. Adolescents' sense of invulnerability can lead some to deny their illness or the need for treatment. Dying adolescents mourn the future and have a need to live in the present and to be involved in planning treatment and decision making.
Young adults often feel angry and that the world is unfair.
Midlife adults tend to mourn losing the present, abandoning family. Dying midlife adults have a need to find ways to continue to meet their responsibilities to others after death. Older adults talk more about death, think about it more, have more experience with it, and are more likely to accept death and feel that it is the appropriate.
