Abstract
This book is about caring for the dying patient and the family: it is not about caring for the bereaved. So why have I, a bereavement social worker, been asked to contribute? Because the carer’s involvement with the family does not necessarily end with the death and because loss, with all its tasks, effects and emotions, is present on both sides of an anticipated death.
