[Individual and relational approach to bereavement].
Loss is viewed as un event that can profoundly and sometimes traumatically challenge one's assumptions about the meaning of the life and about the world. The nature of the bereavement, as human experience, must be known by the physician. The people story of loss suggest a complex process of adaptation to a changed reality, a process that is at the same time personal, familial, social and cultural. The authors underline the family dimension of the grief.
