a response to what my peer wrote here. How might the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. M. be affected by this situation?Mr. and Mrs. M will both experience grief in their own ways.

/in /by

a response to what my peer wrote here.

  • How might the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. M. be affected by this situation?
    • Mr. and Mrs. M will both experience grief in their own ways. Although they are bonded over the permanent and total loss of the same child; Mrs. M may feel a greater amount of grief than Mr. M because she carried both children to delivery. It has been said that a woman becomes a mother when she conceives a child and a man becomes a father when the child is born. “Like other life-span issues, bereavement behavior as a response to loss are influence by religious beliefs, age, cultural, and community aspects, the personality of the grieving person, and the relationship between who is grieving and what is lost,” (Drench, 2012).The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. M may change due to the types of loss that each is grieving. Mr. and Mrs. M are a bonded couple, yet they are their own people who will grieve in their own ways.
  • Should the parents tell their surviving child that he had a twin brother? Why or why not?
    • I believe that the parents should tell their surviving child about his twin brother Andrew. It is important that the surviving twin understand the circumstances of his birth. Premature births often lead to lasting complications. It may be important to explain to Andrew’s brother why he was born early and the consequences to his own health. Mr. and Mrs. M were expecting twins and had no idea that their son was suffering from congenital heart defects until late in the pregnancy. The surviving twin will likely be exposed to family photos or home videos of a woman excitedly expecting two babies. In addition, Mr. and Mrs. M may wish to continue grieving for their child such as honoring the birth or death date of their lost son, saving keepsakes, or supporting the hospital unit that treated their two sons. Answering the surviving twin’s questions about Andrew can foster an environment where it is okay to talk about Andrew and the family’s feelings (Drench, 2012).
  • If you said yes, at what age would it be appropriate to do this?
    • I believe that discussing the issue would be appropriate at any age that the surviving twin begins asking questions. The answers should be tailored around the child’s ability to understand. The answers should begin generalized and grow more specific with age and the understanding of death.
  • What roles might the grandparents play in this situation?
    • The grandparents will grieve a loss of an expected grandchild. Secondary to the loss of the parents, the grandparents may be able to offer support from their own past experiences or give respite care during funeral planning and medical care for the surviving twin. The grandparents will have a vested interest in the well being of Mr. and Mrs. M and may also be able to help adjust the nursery and home from prepared from two children to one.
  • What conflicts might result?
    • The potential for conflict in this situation is high. Mr. and Mrs. M will be grieving in their own ways. Should one parent feel the other is not grieving properly it could increase tensions. Additionally, the parents must agree that their medical decisions were the best course of action; if not they could begin to doubt the other parent’s ability to make medical decisions for the surviving twin. The grandparents will play some role in the life of the surviving twin after Andrew’s death. Well intentioned grandparents could overstep the boundaries of the bereaved new parents. Chronic sorrow may play a permanent role in the family should the M family be reminded of the loss of Andrew through their surviving son’s accomplishments. Drench et. al states that comparing the reality of one’s situation to the “normal” milestones of life can also precipitate the sorrow, (Drench, 2012).
  • What services might be required?
    • Services required will depend on the cultural and religious background of the parents. Andrew’s parents may wish to acquire spiritual help from their local clergy through the duration of grieving and bereavement. In most cases, a funeral director would be necessary to plan Andrew’s burial. Psychological counseling would benefit the bereaved parents. According to Drench, “counseling and support groups for both clients and caregivers have bee shown to have significant impact on long-term psychosocial interventions (2012). Long term services may be necessary on an as needed basis to help Mr. and Mrs. M communicate to Andrew about his death as he grows older. These services may be necessary to reduce the impact of chronic sorrow.
  • Do you think this experience would bring the parents closer together or drive them apart? Support your answer.
    • From the provided text it is unclear if this experience would bring the parents closer together or farther apart. The likelihood of successfully bringing the parents together would rely on coping behavior and coping skills. Both parents would need to use a combination of appraisal and emotion based coping skills to work through their grief. In addition, both parents would need to avoid defense mechanisms in order to address their underlying grief. However, the text stated that Andrew’s brother is a happy kindergartener which is a positive indicator that the parents were able to address and resolve their grief as a family.
  • Do you anticipate the parents would consider having another child?  Why or why not?
    • Again, there is not enough evidence to support the couple’s desire to have another child. Child bearing is a completely personal choice that has ties to autonomy and religion. Pregnancy after uterine surgery could be medically risky for Mrs. M. Many doctors place restrictions on vaginal births after cesarean section or the number of cesarean sections that they will support performing on a single patient. If their religion, like Catholicism, precludes the use of contraceptives their religious beliefs may outweigh the personal risks to Mrs. M.

What services might be needed to enable Mrs. C. to remain in her own home?

/in /by

Just a response to what peer wrote

  •  What burdens will this place of her husband?
    • Mr. C will have to transition from the role of spouse to caregiver. As Mrs. C’s disease progresses Mr. C will have to give up some of his own independence to care for Mrs. C. Mr. C will slowly have to take over the household tasks and chores that Mrs. C was primarily responsible for over the last 50 years. Mr. C will also have an increasing physical burden as Mrs. C’s mobility declines. In addition to the logistical and physical burdens Mr. C will have to carry the emotional toll of a wife who is physically and mentally regressing. The personality changes will be an especially difficult for Mr. C who still refers to Mrs. C as “his bride.” According to Drench, spouses may experience grief, anger, and chronic sorrow when a “lost” spouse is still alive (2012).  Caregiver burden is a real possibility for Mr. C due to the changes in his life and the new tasks he must perform for Mrs. C. Without assistance from his family, friends, and professional caregivers burnout is likely.
  •  On her daughter who lives nearby?
    • The daughter that lives nearby may deal with the burdens that Mr. C is too uncomfortable or unable to perform. This daughter may feel the burden of fulfilling the need of respite care. Respite care is a unique burden because not all respite care is scheduled. Respite care may be due to her father’s illness or injury. As Mrs. C’s daughter, she may feel conflict between her personal responsibilities in her own home and the responsibilities placed upon her by her parents. Such conflict can result in chronic sorrow and an increased susceptibility to developing their own health problems (Drench, 2012). Mr. C’s daughter is more removed from the situation because she does not live in Mr. C’s home. As such she may feel the pressure to encourage outside help from professional caregivers.
  •  On her daughter who lives far away?
    • The daughter who lives far away may struggle with guilt that she cannot do more for her aging parents. Mrs. C’s daughter may also feel guilt for the burdens her sister carries. She may see her relationship with her mother slip away faster than those who spend the most time with her.
  •  How might this affect the relationship between them?
    • The relationship between Mr. C and his wife will change from spouse to caregiver. Mr. C’s  closest daughter will feel this same impact with her mother’s decline. In addition, Mr. C and his closest daughter may have a more complex relationship when they make joint decisions about Mrs. C’s care that may more closely resemble business partners than father and daughter.
  •  What services might be needed to enable Mrs. C. to remain in her own home?
    • Mrs. C will need help with activities of daily living. Mr. C will need to perform, hire help, or receive family assistance with meals, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and mobility. As the disease progresses Mr. C and his daughter will have to adjust to the needs of Mrs. C.
  • What if the daughters want to put Mrs. C. in a skilled nursing facility but the husband wants to keep her at home?
    • The daughters will be motivated to do the best thing for both of their parents. Mr. C will be motivated by his generational values that formal or institutional care meant being “put away” to die. Ultimately this decision will be made according to any living wills, advance directives, or durable power of attorney. If those are not available Mr. C will have the final say in the care of Mrs. C. Mr. C would only lose that ability if he was unable to care for Mrs. C.          o    What criteria do you think should be considered when making this decision?
      • Mrs. C deserves the best care possible. If caring for her at home is of lower quality than what she could receive in a long term care facility she should be moved to institutional care. Mrs. C’s advance directives should be considered as well as the ability of Mr. C and his closest daughter’s ability to care for Mrs. C at home. The final consideration is the access to home care. If professional home care could fill the gaps in Mrs. C’s care it would be beneficial to Mr. C to see his wife cared for at home.
  •  Imagine that this is your grandparent.         o    How would it affect your family?
      • My Family would struggle with this decision. My grandparents are cared for by my father, however my father has acquired some health conditions that make it difficult for him to perform some of the tasks they require. At this point both grandparents are fairly independent and require more household help than help with activities of daily living. If activities of daily living became affected my family would most likely chose skilled nursing care at home before choosing institutional care.
    • How would your family respond?
      • My family is fairly close geographically so we would be better prepared to give respite care and divide responsibilities. My family is focused on giving my grandparents their independence as well as quality of life. Any change to care plans would be focused on those aspects of life.
