Bereavement care is one of the primary services provided by hospice.  In this episode we discuss when bereavement care begins, and the methods that hospice caregivers often use to help those who are grieving.

Grief counseling often uses the 5 stages of grief taught by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross.

• Denial
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance

Helen and Jerry discuss the pros and cons of this theory, and offer several resources to consider.  

Here are links to the resources mentioned in this episode:
