Death, Dying and Bereavement

Social justice is an important consideration of society because it enables us to observe issues, which are related to having access to resources, and social messages circulating around reflection of valuing productivity. This paper aims to discuss ‘Death, dying and bereavement’ in the contextual study of social justice.

In clinics, medical staff including doctors and nurses, make decisions with the consent of patients and their families to decrease the levels of pain. Patients having incurable diseases suffer from severe levels of pain to avoid their further suffering, while clinical staff makes decision to end life of patients through medical processes. However, this is a complex and a controversial process which clinical staff have to follow, while this is also painful for them. Process of end-of-life may result in increased number of mortalities, and may create more instability in life ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"0L4Nzytb","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Mckenzie et al., 2017)","plainCitation":"(Mckenzie et al., 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1114,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/ERUK26NS"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/ERUK26NS"],"itemData":{"id":1114,"type":"article-journal","title":"Ethical considerations in sensitive suicide research reliant on non-clinical researchers","container-title":"Research ethics","page":"173-183","volume":"13","issue":"3-4","author":[{"family":"Mckenzie","given":"Sarah K."},{"family":"Li","given":"Cissy"},{"family":"Jenkin","given":"Gabrielle"},{"family":"Collings","given":"Sunny"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Mckenzie et al., 2017). After end-of-life of a dear one or a family member, the other family members suffer from bereavement, while it is the greatest sorrow for them therefore they grieve ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"24l5AEqC","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Corless, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Corless, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1115,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/LAGXHP8A"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/LAGXHP8A"],"itemData":{"id":1115,"type":"article-journal","title":"Bereavement.","author":[{"family":"Corless","given":"Inge B."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Corless, 2016). This bereavement may result in decline in the well-being, and loss of other relationships which are important.

Death, dying, and bereavement in the context of social justice, it is illegal to kill someone, which results in higher rates of mortality. This greatly influences family members, and rest of society by creating health issues and mistrust on medical staff. For some people this may be a decision in favor of patients, because it decreases severity of pain, while having same intentions and willingness by patients, medical staff makes decisions. The reason why people favor the end-of-life is that it is carried with the consent, and by including all family members of patients, while this process is considered as a part of social justice ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"WYv3tHRQ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Harris & Bordere, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Harris & Bordere, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1116,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/GKXHW3PK"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/GKXHW3PK"],"itemData":{"id":1116,"type":"book","title":"Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief: Exploring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=XGCFCwAAQBAJ","ISBN":"978-1-317-33500-9","author":[{"family":"Harris","given":"D.

However, it is against social justice because taking someone’s is against humanity, and patients have full right to live regardless of suffering from severe pain.
