The concept of Bereavement may have different meanings to different people. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) "Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning after a death."

There are many different views on what the bereavement (or the mourning process) should look like. For some, it could be a process from their religious beliefs; for others, it could be a family or cultural tradition; or could be simply, the wishes of the loved one.

Pick a tradition/culture/religious belief and discuss the bereavement process and beliefs and discuss the history behind that belief. Give examples and discuss how it might impact those not of that belief working with these patients. Remember to cite the resources for your work
