Does it hurt to die? A description of bereavement work to help a group of people with learning disabilities who have suffered multiple,major losses

Abstract

Helping people come to terms with multiple or major losses through bereavement work is described in this paper. It reports on an educational programme comprising a series of 10 workshops for eight learning disabled people. These workshops were designed to explore a wide range of issues surrounding loss. Accounts from group members are encouraging, and this seems to suggest that this approach is worthy of further study.
