Bereavement Committee

by smjb22

We are trying to make our bereavement committee better. What are the great things your hospital does to help families through the death and dying process and after?
Thanks!

Default Re: Bereavement Committee
We make plaster hand prints if the family would like, we send them a letter of sympathy from our berevement committee as well as a card signed by the people who took care of the patient (hangs in the lunch room for 2 weeks and then is mailed out by berevement) we have rememberence services twice a year where all the familes who lost children are invited back and we read their names and the staff attends and interacts with the families.
