Abstract

Trauma nurses are frequently without formal training in grief support or bereavement models. They may be unequal to the task of offering support to families who must cope with death from traumatic injury. Trauma nurses should consider the theoretical model of tasks to understand grief when dealing with sudden death. Through application of this model, we can develop specific nursing strategies that can help survivors of sudden death through this difficult time.
