In these cases, it may stem both from the loss of a specific person and from the withdrawal from social circles caused by the event or the associated sadness. The loss of a significant person in one's life will typically initiate a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the company of others. Loneliness may also occur after the birth of a child (often expressed in postpartum depression), after marriage, or following any other socially disruptive event, such as moving from one's home town into an unfamiliar communityleading to homesickness. Loneliness can occur within unstable marriages or other close relationships in a similar nature, in which feelings present may include anger or resentment, or in which the feeling of love cannot be given or received. Loneliness may represent a dysfunction of communication, and can also result from places with low population densities in which
Factors such as length of the marriage, why the break down, substance abuse, repeat cycles from family of origin, whether there are children, among many other factors, can all influence the issues and how they impact people embroiled in separation or divorce. Due to the required length of the paper, I concentrated on Parents and Children’s issues, however I will look at other areas affected today during my presentation. PARENTS I think that Ann Mitchell in her book Coping with Separation and Divorce sums it up quite well - “Unbelievably, at one fell swoop, you have lost your spouse, your status, your hopes, the framework of your daily life and – possibly – your home and/or your children. You have lost companionship and maybe you have lost in-laws and friends” (Mitchell, 86:14) in my sleep i dreamed you called. you said you were moving back with your old lover.
Unplanned pregnancies constitute to the mother feeling more depressed as she now is expecting something she never intended to happen. Often, unplanned pregnancies may cause aspects like premature delivery and other complications, which bring more worry from a mother’s point of view. Unwanted pregnancies can often have a long term affect on mothers simply because the mother now has to look after a baby when she did intend to or expect to do so. Therefore, such a factor is regarded as high-risk when associated with Post-Natal Depression. In terms of the hormonal changes when giving birth, many hormones change in the body, thus triggering a greater chance of the mother suffering from Post-natal depression.
Acute Stress Reaction, Acute Stress Disorder, and Parents of Children with Cancer Liberty University Abstract Research has shown that traumatic stress can be caused by many different factors and how people react to stress can differ from person to person. Factors such as spirituality, religion, personality, temperament, a strong support system and how a person has handled trauma in the past play a role in how a person copes with stress. What may be a minor stressor to one person could cause a stress reaction or acute stress disorder in another (Yeager & Roberts, 2003). Acute stress disorder can be caused by the threat of or perceived threat of death to oneself or to another person (Patino-Fernandez, Pai, Alderfer, Hwang, Reilly, & Kazak, 2008). In this paper, I explore the signs and symptoms of acute stress disorder and acute stress reactions, coping skills, treatment of, and if having a child with cancer can lead to one of these disorders.
Divorce has many effects on children and however the parents adjust to the divorce relates to how the child will adjust. Divorce can change negative effects on the development of a child. It can affect A child’s feelings, behaviors, emotions, communication skills, and health (Lewis, 1999) The effects can be long lasting into their adulthood. It is important that parents communicate and help their children on how to cope with a divorce. Divorce affects each member of the family which children experience it differently.
In today’s society, divorce has become a norm in our lives. Married couples today are getting a divorce due to many different reasons, either because of conflicts in the marriage, lost of romantic feelings, a spouse committing an affair, and other type of marriage problems. Most of these divorced couples have children that are very young and due to their age, have no idea on how to deal with an event like a divorce. These children will have to learn to deal with their parent’s divorce at such a young age, affecting them in a positive or negative way. The effects of recent enlargement in divorce rates are negative effects.
Family breakdown happens for a wider range of reasons; this can include bereavement, parental illness, incapacity, mental health problems or even substance abuse. The family unit may break down totally because of violence and discord and the child requires care that could be temporary or even permanent. A child who is being abused may need to be removed from that situation for their own safety and well-being. Such circumstances may results in their needing particularly sensitive care and later they may require therapy to help them come to terms with what has happened to them. Children that have been ‘looked after’ have often been through a great amount of upheaval and disruption in their lives which leads them to be very vulnerable.
