title: "Give Sorrow Words": Working With Bereavement in Senior Residential Settings.
abstract: Bereavement and its consequent grief are frequent in senior residential settings. Failure to manage grief appropriately can have serious medical consequences, principally clinical depression. Focused talk with a grieving person can help ease the pain of grief; it can also help prevent complications that often lead to depression. Along with mental health professionals, staff members and volunteers can be important, and less expensive, participants in reaching this goal.
