Problem: Why might it be more difficult for younger widows to adjust to a spouse's loss? Why might it be more difficult for older widows to make the adjustment? Thinking of the cultural aspect of dying and the medicalization of dying, how are conversations on end-of-life choices impacted by the clinical settings (physicians offices, hospitals, nursing facilities, etc) in which they occur? How do euphemisms about death and the last days before death (coming to an end, being called home, beginning of the end, etc) impact a person's understanding and quality of dying?

Why or why not? Need Assignment Help?
