When a person dies, grieving relatives and friends are left behind. In geriatric or other care facilities, fellow residents and caregiving staff are also affected by the loss of long-standing close individuals. Grieving children or parents who have lost a child, brother, or sister are confronted in a very special way with the overwhelming, often tabooed emotion that their surroundings often face helplessly. This book provides general information on the topic of grief and mourning work in the introductory section. The practical section presents many real-life examples of an empathetic and life-affirming approach to the grief of various groups of people in different settings. Healthcare and elderly care staff, social workers, educators, psychologists, individuals in crisis intervention teams, and pastoral care providers will find suggestions on how to support the bereaved.
