Sharon is a client of yours who comes every week to the Goodville adult day centre where you work. Sharon is very social and loves to gossip with the other ladies over lunch. You have noticed over the past few months that she has become withdrawn and quiet, sometimes sitting alone at another table and refusing to go out on the bus excursions with the others. You approach Sharon and she immediately bursts into tears; the look of sadness on her face is very obvious and she is struggling to speak. Sharon tells you that the mayor, Bill, who recently died, was a long-time family friend of her and her husband Ralph. Ralph died last year after a long battle with chronic heart disease. Sharon says that Bill was their rock of support during the hard times of losing their son and supporting the family when Sharon experienced depression. Bill was a great listener when Sharon wanted to talk about her difficulties as a child with bullying and living with an abusive father. She states that she feels more devastated now than she ever has over any other losses she has had in the past, she is not sleeping well and is unable to find the joy she used to in life. What impacts of the trauma, grief and bereavement in the case study can you see Sharon displaying? Name four reactions you can see.
