For patients and family caregivers the journey through illness and
transitions of care is characterized by a series of progressive
physical and emotional losses. Grief reactions represent the
natural response to those losses. Grief is defined by a
constellation of physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual
manifestations, varying in length and severity. While grief
reactions are common and expected responses to loss, they have the
potential to cause significant suffering. And, while grief is not a
disease, it can develop into a pathological process warranting
specialized treatment. Additionally, some aspects of grief overlap
with the symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety, making
diagnosis difficult. Grief and Bereavement in the Adult Palliative
Care Setting provides practical, evidence-based, and clinically
effective approaches to understanding the multifaceted nature of
grief and bereavement in patients with advanced illness and their
caregivers. This handbook is an ideal tool for palliative care
providers of various disciplines who provide direct clinical
services to patients and family members. It assists clinicians in
recognizing and identifying grief reactions as unique expressions
of patients and caregivers' history and psychological functioning.
Primary care physicians who provide care to patients and families
will also find this practical assessment and treatment guide
helpful. They will learn how to best support bereaved patients and
caregivers when grief is uncomplicated, and when to choose more
active interventions that may include appropriate referrals to
mental health professionals.
