After care bereavement program.
Every year, 200 to 250 patients suffer the sudden death of a loved one in the emergency department at Hartford Hospital. Many families are not prepared for the grief they will experience and are left to grieve their loss alone. Recognizing the needs of these families led to the development of the Trauma Support After Care Program, which is described in this article.
