BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY There comes a case where everyone has to face a situation where it happens at the wrong time. It can even happen at the most unexpected moment. Some think it happened because it was planned and supposed to happen, while others think it's purely unfair because no preparations were made. A suitable scenario for these beliefs is death. What is death? Basically, death is the end of life. It means being unable to see a person for a very long time. Certainly, death is inevitable, but the loss of a close friend or family member always fills us with a whole range of emotions.

Enjoying life again does not imply that we no longer miss the person, but rather that your grief has run its course. Nowadays, natural disasters are a common cause of death. These can be storms, thunderstorms, earthquakes, landslides and much more. All of them can have a big impact on someone's life.
