In a situation where the individual has a previous unresolved loss, the new loss would seem unbearable. Rando says, “Previous unresolved losses generally hinder effective grief resolution. Issues that have not been addressed tend to arise and complicate the current situation. The desire to avoid dealing with previous losses may prevent resolution of the current loss” (Rando, 1984, p. 47). Last but not least, physiological factors that take into account the individual's state of mind at the time of loss also influence grief. process. The individual's level of physical health and possible interactions with prescriptions, which can make the loss more complicated. For example: “More mourners are often drugged during wakes and funerals – specific times when they should be encouraged to vent their emotions. This leads them to conform to their loss at a later time, at times when there may not be the social support that is usually available during the initial period following the death (Rando, 1984, pp. 55-5). It is worth keeping in mind that the victims of Hurricane Katrina not only had to cope with physical impacts such as death, injuries and property damage, but also with secondary losses that develop as a result of the initial loss, i.e. these individuals suffer a change of environment due to Hurricane Katrina floods which led to the individual moving to different states, which in turn led to an alteration in relationships with other family members. As stated in Rando, “sometimes these secondary losses cause more problems for the grieving person than the initial loss of the death of the loved one” (Rando, 1984, p. 53). As a social worker, I will suggest that the victims of Hurricane Katrina will benefit from the bereavement count... middle of the paper... the tragedy is unique and the suffering it can cause each individual may vary from person to person. But without the help of the government and dedicated professionals such as social workers, it will be extremely difficult to implement prevention and guide those in need to obtain the necessary resources during difficult situations. Natural disasters are part of nature. Unfortunately, these natural events have catastrophic consequences such as death, injuries, and psychosocial and political impacts. Fortunately, there are programs that help people with the consequences, such as FEMA. Individuals struggling with physical and social challenges depend not only on their families and community support, but also on the guidance of agencies and programs at the federal, state, local, or judicial levels to maintain and improve their quality of life.
