    Post-partum depression was studied with the Beck inventory during a 6-month period in two groups of over 300 women. The difference in prevalence of depression between women who had had live births and women whose babies were stillborn or died in the first 7 days of life was influenced by age. At 6 months, post-partum depression was just as common in women aged under 24 whose babies had survived as in women of the same age whose babies had died.

    Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
    In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from emotional distress. Anger...

    Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

    Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals.

These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.
