Death and Dying Process

You are a volunteer in a long-term care facility. While the facility employs inter-disciplinary providers including mental health providers and social workers, your daily encounters with residents and families often revolve around comforting them in various stages of the death, dying, and grieving processes.

You know that most of the population is comprised of visually-dominant learners, but most of their interactions are auditory in nature. Given this discrepancy, you ask leadership if you can create a brochure for residents and their families to outline a typical death and dying process, as well as tips to help embrace the grieving process at each step.

Leadership welcomes the idea. They ask you to create an evidence-based brochure for the residents and their families on this topic. Once you create it, they will have their social work and mental health provider teams review your content to determine if revision is needed prior to sharing it with the population.
