These moments can be big opportunities to learn more about yourself and come to terms with it. One potential of a teachable moment is that they allow for a better understanding of death, and they allow the person to reflect on themselves. Especially for families and patients, these teachable moments can be very important, and allow for growth and recovery. A blockage that could hold back a teachable moment our emotions during this time like grief, anger, and even blame. For example, when my great grandfather was in the hospital my grandma was a wreck. However, with the comfort of family and God, my grandma was able to heal and recover from it and learn from that situation. However, without those things, or with anger and blame, my grandma may not have healed as easily. Respond to classmate. Need Assignment Help?
