(Answer) According to Insel and Roth in their book “Core Concepts of Health,” there is no right way to cope with death. Each person has their own methods based on their own situation. However, in most cases, emotional encumbrance is the challenge that a person might face when it comes to facing death.

Hope and honesty are two essential qualities that a person with a life-threatening illness may require. Honesty to face reality and hope that there is more time. When the time eventually runs out, there is a certain hope that it might be a pain-free death.

Insel and Roth even mention Kubler-Ross’ five stages of grief. They talk about denial, anger, bargaining, depression and the final stage of acceptance. A survey study that Insel and Roth conducted even showed that patients who finally accept death through various stages of preparation, affirmation etc. The study confirmed that the people who accept their scenario being to view death as a natural trajectory of life and not a failure of technology. The first step that these people took was simply to accept the situation for what it was.

Before Howard (Will Smith) decides to go to an actual intervention meeting to cope with the death of his daughter, he decides to help himself. He decides to divert his mind by simply playing with dominos and building things out of it. This activity is probably symbolic of the repetitive bouts of emotions that one might experience when they are faced with severe grief. Later on, Howard simply decides to talk about how he feels in group therapy. This strategy eventually helps him accept that his daughter has passed on to a new stage and so must he.
