The First Steps of Sharmaine: Trust vs Mistrust
Sharmaine learns developmental tasks such as learning to eat foods and developing trust. She tends to not have any sort of trust issues, and allowed all family and close friends of her parents to hold her without a fuss. The first stage in Erikson's stages of development would be characterized as a crucially important stage in which an infant learns to feel security with a caregiver.

Sharmaine's Start of Retirement: Integrity vs Despair
Sharmaine has better health practices than ever. Her grandchildren are more in her life. Most importantly, she enjoys the life she lived and excited to see what the future holds. Erikson's last stage is when a person looks back on their life and questions if they are proud of his life achievements. This does not necessarily have to be the end of someone's life. Failure to realize this stage will cause the person to be depressed and unhappy with their life and look back with regret.
