Literature Search on Grieving Process
Grief refers to a natural process that follows a loss (significantly) such as the loss of a loved one. Grief is accompanied by emotional, social, mental, spiritual, and physical fatigue due to the hopelessness and burns out secondary to the loss. The severity of the grieving process depends on different factors such as the relationship between the dead and the affected and the duration of the illness that led to the loss. The symptoms of grief vary depending on the severity of a loss. Among them, include guilt, hopelessness, gloominess, and depression among other symptoms. However, grief is considered a normal process in relation to the loss, lengthened and/or severe grief complicates the health of the affected. As such, several theorists, including Kubler Ross analyzed the grieving process to create understanding and the ways of managing the symptoms faced by the affected (O'Connor, 2007). Therefore, this research paper performs a research analysis of the comparison between the grieving processes as stated by Ross and that underwent by Job in the bible. It also provides an analysis of the relationship between Ross and Job's grieving process and joy alongside relating the findings from the research with my personal experiences.

For example, losing his property does not surprise him and takes two weeks to mourn with his friends, but not in denial state (Shapiro, 1994).
Job does not show any signs of anger towards God or situation that was facing him. Job's discourses do not show any signs of anger. However, he shows anger when he curses the day of his birth and anger towards his friends. Job shows bargaining when he wants to be dead to alleviate the miseries he was undergoing. Job undergoes significant depression as shown in the Bible. Depression plagues him in the light of misdiagnosis of his situation by his friends and their pretend to be wise. Furthermore, analysis shows depression in Job when it states, "the words of his friends were like arrows penetrating his tortured soul." Interestingly, Job's acceptance came prior to the above stages.
