What is bereavement in palliative care?

People who are facing a terminal diagnosis may go through five stages of grieving originally outlined in 1969 by Elisabeth Kbler-Ross in her book, On Death and Dying. These stages are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

What is the next step after palliative care?

Both palliative care and hospice care provide comfort. But palliative care can begin at diagnosis, and at the same time as treatment. Hospice care begins after treatment of the disease is stopped and when it is clear that the person is not going to survive the illness.

What is palliative care at the end of life?

Bereavement is an umbrella term that includes overall adaptation to death. It is the process associated with loss and grief, the state of having suffered a loss through death and responding to the loss, learning to live with the loss and dealing with the pain of death. This process does not have a time limit.
