Loss doesn’t necessarily always refer to death as one would think it would, it often refers to losing something of value as well. Grief can be expressed in multiple ways and is different for everyone therefore nurses have to be aware of the different types of grief to provide the necessary care to those individuals. As difficult as it is, dying is a natural process which we will have to accept as an inevitable part of life. Nurses play a crucial role during these times of patients' lives by being compassionate and supportive.
