Abstract
Grief is a common phenomenon found in patients with terminal cancer. Nurses should have a knowledge and understanding of grief processes and human reactions to grief, as well as factors related to grief. Care for terminal cancer patients experiencing grief includes assessing patients’ perceptions and needs, creating a healing environment, fostering hope, providing emotional and psychological support, and promoting physical comfort. Such care aims to help patients to spend their limited time meaningfully and to prepare for a peaceful departure.
