Answer to Question 1

A living will is a legal document allowed in some states that instructs health care professionals not to carry out certain life-saving procedures on terminally ill or severely disabled individuals. The purpose of a living will is to help the older adult maintain integrity in both life and death. Older adults often are much better at accepting death than are younger people, and living wills and other efforts to humanize dying allow dignity to be maintained through the end of life

Answer to Question 2

Elisabeth Kbler-Ross developed a popular model of bereavement, based on her work with the terminally ill, that describes grief as occurring in five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Researchers have questioned whether bereavement follows any clear-cut series of stages. Few people seem to experience grief in a fixed sequence of stages; many individuals experience some of the stages but not all and in different orders, and some individuals experience none of the stages as outlined by Kbler-Ross.
