These surviving spouses, partners, relatives, and friends, in addition to coping with the death of a loved one, must also deal with the loved one's decision to die, thus severing the relationship. C. G. Prado examines how reactions to elective death are influenced by cultural influences and beliefs, particularly those related to life, death, and the possibility of an afterlife. Understanding the role of these cultural influences on the grieving processes of survivors is a crucial step in allowing them to accept both intellectually and emotionally the finality of elective death and to deal with the decision of their loved one"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Older people $x Suicidal behavior. 650 0 $a Suicide $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Euthanasia $x Moral and ethical aspects. 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825073408.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20150505014228.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20131120010305.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20120707010801.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20101207010806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4D005C401CF11E0AA5B8BEC6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
