21. Discuss the phenomenon of “visualizations” as part of the grieving process. (p615)
The bereaved brings up, thinks and talks about numerous memories of the deceased. The memories are positive. This process goes on with great sadness. The idealization of the deceased lets the bereaved relive the gratifications associated with the deceased and helps resolve any quilt the bereaved feels concerning the deceased. The bereaved may also take on many of the mannerisms of the deceased through identification. Identifications serves the purpose of holding on to the deceased. Preoccupation with the dead person can continue for many months before it lessens.
-i.e. A man whose wife has very recently died states, " I just can't stop thinking about my wife. Everything I see reminds me of her. We picked up this seashell on our honeymoon. I remember every wonderful moment we had together. The pain is so great, but the memories just keep on coming." His friends notice that when he talks, his hand gestures and expressions are very like those of his recently deceased wife.
Thank you, Rupert.
