ABC of palliative care: bereavement
Bereavement is a universal human experience and potentially dangerous to health. It is associated with a high mortality, and up to a third of bereaved people develop a depressive illness. Help targeted at those most at risk has been shown to be effective and to make the most efficient use of scarce resources. When a death is anticipated, preparation for bereavement can be made, and this can also improve outcome.

Abstract

Bereavement is a universal human experience and potentially dangerous to health. It is associated with a high mortality, and up to a third of bereaved people develop a depressive illness. Help targeted at those most at risk has been shown to be effective and to make the most efficient use of scarce resources. When a death is anticipated, preparation for bereavement can be made, and this can also improve outcome.
