When there is a death in the family there is not possible amount of preparation a person can do which will lessen the affects that it has on the remaining members of the family, especially and most severely when the loss is unexpected and not anticipated. Studies have shown that depending on the nature of the death, the ripple effects will be felt in different ways for different people, at different psychological levels for varying periods of time.
