Health care providers will encounter and experience grief throughout their personal and professional lives. People cope with grief differently. The magnitude of the loss, cultural and religious beliefs, one's coping skills and psychiatric history, the availability of support systems, and one's socioeconomic status can all affect how a person copes with grief.

This program describes the task-based approach to life-threatening illness, anticipatory grief, the stages of grief, and general aspects of grief therapy. The course also includes sections on children and grief and cross-cultural responses to grief and mourning.
