Grieving as a hero's journey.
The psychodynamics of transformation through grief and loss can be explained through a model of personal growth which encompasses both the individuation process of Jungian psychology and the hero's journey which Joseph Campbell explored through mythology. The model may provide a tool for hospice caregivers to use in assessing both their own responses to death and dying and their grieving patients'/families' needs for assistance.
