title: A sense of loss: working with loss and people who have a learning disability.
abstract: For many years people with learning disabilities have had forgotten bereavements, forgotten grief and have often become forgotten people when it comes to meaningful support over the death of a loved one. This Learning Unit aims to explore some of the issues involved in the sensitive area of bereavement, loss and learning disabilities and to examine critically the role of the learning disability nurse in supporting this client group.
