In this course, we’ll talk honestly about what happens when life ends, and how people experience and cope with death. You’ll learn about different types of death and how people’s ideas about death change as they grow older - from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood. We’ll look at what makes people fear death, how they prepare for it, and what the dying process is like. We’ll also explore different theories about grief, compare how people grieve, and discuss the effects grief can have on someone’s life. By the end of this course, you’ll have a better understanding of how people deal with death and loss, and why it’s important to talk about these experiences.
