Abstract
In the final chapter of this section we have chosen to discuss what might seem at first to be widely disparate concepts; namely, change in body image, dying and bereavement. However they are all examples of significant loss, and the process of adaptation through which the individual comes to terms with the loss is similar in each case. Indeed the adaptation process has already been touched on in previous chapters, particularly in the chapter on cancer, since both a change in body image and fear of dying assume great importance in cancer.
