Feedback:
Bereavement (grieving) is part of the process of dealing with a loved one's death. Usually, hospice staff members attend memorial services, but do not arrange them. They urge family members to reminisce and talk about their loved one and to share feelings. Often, staff members make home visits after a client's death to evaluate how family members are coping and assist in their adjustment. Hospice protocol includes bereavement follow-up for at least a full year after a client's death.
