![]() According to ELNEC (2010), the role of the nurse includes three things: (1) the nurse must facilitate the grieving process by assessing the grief (2) the nurse must assist the patient with issues and concerns related to the grief and (3) the nurse must support the survivors. Individuals each express and cope with losses differently and a nurse should expect to see that when working with patients and families at the end of life. In end-of-life care, nurses must understand the fundamentals about grief, loss, and bereavement on the part of patients and families, and also within themselves. Grief and bereavement are universal experiences that people go through when they are dealing with a loss in their lives.
