individuals are known as the Bereavement. It is also termed as individuals facing life events.
Each and every misfortune that is faced by the person that make numeric changes in the mood of
that individual as the particular condition. In the case of Jane and Sundra both are facing
different life events suffered from that deeply (Bellet, Neimeyer, and Berman, 2018). These life
events affect them in various manner and leave the impact on their lives. There are various
negative impacts on the life of human being of these life events such as depression, stress as well
as grief. When someone face these bereavement and problems in their life different changes are
measured in their physical body, mental health as well as affect them socially. Some of impacts
are discussed below:

Physical impacts: A feeling of pain and grief leave great impact on the physical body of
the Jane and Sundra who are facing such pain to loss husband. The pain impact on the physical
health of these ladies and it is not easy for them to overcome the pain early. Because of pain the
individual is not able to take enough sleep. It is required to take medical treatment in that
situation in order to avoid anxiety and stress.
Social impact: Comparatively less changes are happened in the life of bereavement’s life, but it
is very important to collect all changes that are take place because of a specific life event and
make efforts to improve them with having proper support (Cvetković,2020). To the Sundra and
Jane, their life event affects them but proper support of family, friends and loved one help them
to cope-up with all these grief and problems.
Bereavement-act as Rollercoaster: An emotional and unconditional feelings are raised in
the individual that face all the problems and they act like a rollercoaster because of these motions
are getting changed due to changes in the various circumstances. In the case of Sundra and Jane,
they become the numb and mourns, like Sundra do not want to accept the death of her husband
and behave accordingly. In such situation individual do not know how to react or they become
still. In some situation they act as a numb, as not show any type of emotions by weeping. In the
first case the Jane do not react towards her decease and enjoy the life events on the other hand
