As nurses, we many times experience cumulative loss. We have had the privilege to spend the
last days, hours, and minutes with our patients before they die. Once they die, we fill-out the
necessary paperwork, make essential phone calls, say good-bye to families and move on to the
next patient. Whether we are hospice nurses, oncology nurses, medical/surgical nurses,
advanced practice nurses or educators, our time is usually short to complete “tasks” and then we
must move on to the next event. For many, there is never closure to these cumulative losses.
Great care must be given to provide care for nurses who do this work daily.
Below is a set of questions that will assist you in thinking about some of the losses you have
experienced in your professional career.
Discussion Questions:
1. How many patients have you seen die in the last year?
2. How many patients did you care for but were not there when they died?
4. Describe your most memorable patient who died?
ï‚· Was it a “good” death? If so, what made it a good death?
ï‚· Was it a “bad” death? If so, what made it a bad death?
ï‚· What steps were put in place to make this a “good” or “bad” death?
ï‚· What improvements could have been made?
ï‚· What institutional systems supported the “good” death? What systems supported the
“bad” death?
5. Does your institution offer bereavement support for staff?
ï‚· If not, who would you need to contact to get this service offered to you and other staff
members at your institution?
ï‚· How would you envision this bereavement support?
6. What do you do to take care of yourself?
ï‚· How do you spend your time away from your work?
ï‚· Do you have hobbies, friends, family?
ï‚· When did you last take a vacation?
ï‚· Do you have a mentor? If not, consider choosing someone who is a little further “down
the road” who can offer you insight into what you encounter daily.
