Bereavement: Reactions, Consequences, and Care
CHAPTER 9, Roles of Health Professionals and Institutions
Health care professionals have an obligation to family members of terminally ill or recently deceased patients. To carry out this role responsibly, they should be able to communicate about sensitive issues, to understand the nature of normal and abnormal bereavement reactions, and to be knowledgeable about community resources to which the bereaved can be referred for specialized help if needed.
