Aging, Death, and
Bereavement
Lijodi Brenda
AGING
Somatic and neurologic changes in aging
 Strength and physical health gradually decline.
 Changes in the brain occur with aging. These changes include
 Decreased brain weight, enlarged ventricles and sulci, and decreased cerebral
blood flow.
 Amyloid (senile) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are present in the normally
aging brain but to a lesser extent than in neurocognitive disorder due to
Alzheimer’s disease. Neurochemical changes that occur in aging include decreased
availability of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, dopamine, γ-
aminobutyric acid, and acetylcholine. These changes can be associated with
psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety
Cognitive changes in aging
 Some memory problems m ay occur in norm al aging
Psychological changes
 In late adulthood, there is either a sense o ego integrity (i.e., satisfaction and
pride in one’s past accomplishments) or a sense o despair and worthlessness
(Erikson’s stage of ego integrity vs. despair). Most elderly people achieve ego
integrity.
 Psychopathology and related problems
 Depression
 Sleep patterns change, resulting in loss o sleep, poor sleep quality, or both
 Anxiety and ear ulness m ay be associated with realistic ear-inducing
situations (e.g., worries about developing a physical illness or alling and
breaking a bone).
STAGES OF DYING AND
DEATH
Stages
 According to Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, the process of dying involves five
stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance
 Denial. The patient re uses to believe that he or she is dying. (“The
laboratory made an error.”)
 Anger. The patient m ay become angry at the physician and hospital stay . (“It
is your adult that I am dying.
 Bargaining. The patient may try to strike a bargain with God or some higher
being. (“I will give half of my money to charity if I can get rid o this
disease.”)
 Depression. The patient becomes preoccupied with death and may become
emotionally detached
Stages
 Acceptance. The patient is calm and accepts his or her ate
Bereavement
BEREAVEMENT (NORMAL GRIEF) VERSUS
COMPLICATED BEREAVEMENT (DEPRESSION)
Characteristics of normal grief (bereavement)
 Grief is characterized initially by shock and denial.
 In normal grief , the bereaved m ay experience an illusion that the deceased
person is physically present.
 Normal grief generally subsides after 1–2 years, although some features may
continue longer. Even after they have subsided, symptoms m ay return on
holidays or special occasions (the “anniversary reaction”).
 The mortality rate is high or close relatives (especially widowed men) in the
first year of bereavement.
Normal vs abnormal bereavement
Normal Grief Reaction (Bereavement)
 Minor weight loss (e.g.< 5 pounds)
 Minor sleep disturbances
 Mild guilty feelings
 Illusions
 Attempts to return to work and social
activities
 Cries and expresses sadness
 Severe symptoms resolve within 2
months
 Moderate symptoms subside within 1
y
Complicated Grief Reaction
(Depression)
 Significant weight loss (e.g., >5% of
body weight)
 Significant sleep disturbances
 Intense feelings of guilt and
worthlessness
 Hallucinations or delusions
 Resumes few, if any, work or social
activities
 Considers or attempts suicide
 Severe symptoms persist for >2 mo
