چکیده

Bereavement support is an integral part of palliative care. Grieving after loss is a normal process; however, some grief reactions become complicated and may seriously compromise the health of an individual. Routine bereavement care helps identify people at risk of complicated grieving. The burden of grief can last for years, sometimes indefinitely. People caring for the bereaved need to pay special attention to cultural differences, the burden of caring for dying children, and the special support needs of bereaved children and adolescents. Excellent resources to assist in grief management, including the expertise of palliative care teams, are readily available.
