A Comparison- contrast of Kübler-Ross’s grief process and the story of Job with Judaism
Grief is the response to loss, and when someone is attached to something or other person grief gets more intense. Even though, there is no way to deal with stress, there are different coming mechanisms that can be used to help those grieving. Grief is also dependent on the culture of a person, and hence different religions have different ways through which adherents’ grieve from loss. The way people grief is also dependent on other factors including coping mechanisms, experiences and personality. The effects of grief affect the emotional physical, spiritual, mental and social aspect of a person. This is a comparison contrast paper on Kübler-Ross’s model in its application to Job in the Bible together with the Jewish view on grief. It also highlights on the interaction between joy and grief, while also taking into account handling of grief in view of research on grieving models
A Comparison- contrast of Kübler-Ross’s grief process and the story of Job with Judaism
The Kübler Ross model delves into the five stages of grief, and the first stage is denial where everything seems meaningless, and victims cannot make sense of what is happening (James, 2008). This helps to cope with grief, but as one accepts reality healing begins to take place. In the Bible, Job is not in denial even after losing his children and wife, he appears to understand God’s plans. The Jewish account of the book of Job is similar to Christian understanding. However, the Jewish people grieve through prayer citation, with little emphasis on the process of grief
Anger is the second stage in the process of grief, and this is a deflection that can extend to even family and friends. In this stage, one has doubts on the role of God in suffering, but anger offers connection form initially feeling empty and nothing and is a way of actually showing love. Job is clearly angry for his tribulations, “I am tired of living. Listen to my bitter complaint. Don't condemn me, God.” (Job 10:1-2- Good News Translation). In Judaism, there is less insistence on anger during grief, and in death practices are meant to respect the dead.
Bargaining is the third stage and involves the victim trying to gain control by seeking God’s power, and this is a defense against the reality. Job is a pious man, but at one point wishes he were dead and the suffering would be gone, he wants the misery to simply go away when it is too much to bear. The story of Job shows suffering and need to have faith in God in Judaism, and God is seen as almighty and Jewish practices do not seek to bargain with God.
The fourth stage is depression, which sets in the mourning period, and sadness typically goes together with mourning. However, at this stage, reassurance has the ability to ease grief, but withdrawal may make it a difficult situation. Job gets depressed especially when his friend suggests that he is sick because of sin.
Acceptance is the fifth stage and arises when a person learns to live...
