URBÁNEK, Lukáš
The thesis deals with the topic of how the bereaved cope with the death of their loved ones and how one could help them in their crisis situation. It aims to compare the information gathered in a research carried out in the Strakonice district with the results known in scientific literature. The bachelor?s thesis focuses particularly on the mourning of the bereaved; however, it also outlines the issues of death and funeral which are closely related to the death of a loved one. It takes into account the results of the respondents? answers on what kind of death they first encountered, at what age and what their feelings were. A large part of the thesis deals with what a loss of a loved one means to the bereaved. The thesis focuses on processing grief of the bereaved respondents and who and what helped them the most when coping with the death of a loved one. Furthermore, it suggests some possibilities of non-professional and professional help for the bereaved and their comparison with the respondents? experience. The gathered empirical data are scrutinized and compared with scientific literature. There is also an intention to devise a creative project which might enrich our knowledge about the phenomenon of death and mourning.
