Interview Questions

These are the interview questions I came up with today:



How would you say the grief cycle affects a child?

How would you say it affects an adult?

How would you say it affects a teen?

What do you think a person should do if they see a relative or friend getting deeper and deeper into depression? What if they don’t want to get help?

How do you think the loss of a loved one affects the relationships of the immediate family?

What are some of the ways different cultures deal with grief, do you know what rituals or
customs some of them use?

What do you think is a good way to deal with grieving so you don’t get more depressed?

I know when my dad died a lot of people told me keep busy don’t think about it, is that the proper way to go about grieving?

Would you say Koobler’s grief cycle works for anybody? (children, teens, adults, different cultures)

Do you think that everybody that loses someone who is close should see a counselor or some type of person for help?

Do you think that sudden death makes the grief process longer or shorter?

Do you have any advice on what you should say to people when they just lost someone, or any advice you could give them?

I didnt figure out who exactly im going to interview yet, but we'll see.

Interview

Today we found out about doing our interviews for the project. I looked at several different people that I could interview, but I think the best bet is the Caring Place. I think it's the best because it's local and they will probably be nice, and willing to be interviewed.

yesterday

Yesterday I was not able to blog because I had to go see the counselor for personal things going on at home. So I just thought I would let you guys know that that was the reason why I wasn't keeping you guys posted.

Today

Today was the first day I have been in this class since the library trip. I was having some family troubles so I did'nt come in yesterday. But I got like 4 or 5 books, and I think I'm going to start reading those probably over the weekend or on Monday. Then I will take notes for that.

Carnegie Library

Well we just got to the library and Nothing is really set up. Some of us dont have cards therefore we can't take out books. Ms. King's talking to the librarian now so hopefully works out.

Library Trip!

So, Ms. King told us that were going to the library Wednesday. So we had to find 2 books that were related to our topic at the library in Oakland. I found 6 so I think that out of all of the choices I got I'll find a couple good ones. This should help me a lot during my research process. These books look pretty interesting and I'm pretty excited to read them.

Continuing Research

Today I finished making all my templates for my notes, so now im pretty much all set to start taking notes full speed tommorow. I'm starting to get a little nervous about getting done it just seems like so much work. I'm just afraid I'm not going to get it done and I'm not going to graduate. It's scary just thinking about it now writing it. But hopefully it will all work out and I'll finish on time.

This is my collage that I made to go with my whole project. Its not that great but I'm not that good at Photoshop. I did the best I could so leave some comments. Good or bad.

Research!!!

I found out a little bit about different things that happen when elementary school kids and pre schoolers lose a loved one. All this stuff is very interesting, and keeps you engrossed in looking at stuff. I would give my self a 7.5 8 for todays work.

Continuing Notes!

Today I was super tired I thought i was going to fall asleep. I did stick it out though and did some research so I was pretty proud of myself. For my class time used I think that I would give my self an 8.

Notes!

Today I started to figure out what I was going to do for my notes. I think im going to use the one where it has the notes on one side and the sources on the other. Kind of like Dot Jot Notes.
