Understanding the importance and means of providing bereaving support by the healthcare professional is part of wholistic care. This course will describe what makes the loss of a child unique and why families need support. Understanding and implementing practices to help families through knowing what is appropriate to say and what is not. We will also identify the challenges of loss, grief, and bereavement with respect to children through the recognition and respect of the bereavement experiences.
