An examination of how different aspects affect how individuals grieve. The effect of variables such as culture, spirituality, age and class are explored, aiming to remind caregivers that attention must be paid to such variables when working with clients and designing support programmes.

Produced as a companion to the Hospice Foundation of America's fifth annual National Bereavement Teleconference, this volume examines how key aspects of identity affect how individuals grieve. Variables explored include culture, spirituality, age and development level, class and gender.
