Caring for patients experiencing loss, grief, and the end of life is one of the most profound aspects of nursing. It requires not only clinical skill but deep compassion, presence, and emotional sensitivity. Nurses play a vital role in supporting both patients and their families through these difficult transitions, offering comfort, dignity, and understanding. Recognizing the individual nature of grief and the importance of cultural and spiritual beliefs allows nurses to provide truly holistic care during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.
