I have been observing some different behaviors of family care givers while their patient saying fare well or when the physician wants to disclose the diagnosis of a stage 4 cancer. i think the religious background of the family is important here. i have seen some Muslims who can not accept the eventual death of a loved one and the other Muslims who can. what about other religions ? and what factors psychological , spiritual , religious are involved here ?
I think that all religions are not exempt from suffering caused by the death of a loved one. But, the intensity of the feeling/suffering varies between anguish, denial, frustration and finally acceptance as a fact of life. Death rituals are different due to cultural and religious differences (Muslims, Jewish, Christian, Hindus and so forth).
I think the following paper is very interesting in the topic
Disease-associated differences in religious cognition in patients with Parkinson's disease

I am also very interested in this topic. I work with psychosis in the UK and see how closely grief plays a role in unusual beliefs emerging. Faith and meaning seem to also play a role in understanding, perception and recovery. I look forward to seeing your paper,
