Abstract

The unexpected loss of a loved one through sudden death is a traumatic experience. Generally, there are few resources in the community specifically tailored to meet the needs of family and friends at such a critical time. This paper describes a Primary Health Care initiative that has been developed in a community, in response to an identified need for a package of written materials to assist the grieving process in the case of a sudden death.
