Abstract

While considerable research has explored family spousal/partner and care giver experiences while receiving palliative care, there is a dearth of studies which focus on the experience of bereaved relatives and significant others of palliative care patients into bereavement (Constantinou, et al, 2019). Fewer still focus on how these individual bereavement experiences differ from the general population. This is despite the fact that grieving relatives can experience a number of consequences as a result of the death of a loved one, including, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Garrouste-Orgeas, et al, 2019).
