The Impact of Grief in the Elder Adult Population
About the Course
Loss of a significant other means not only the loss of a meaningful attachment but may also include the loss of a social network, financial means, a history, a life role, and hopes for the future. The sting of death is no less painful to an individual in older adulthood than to a youth looking to their life ahead. In fact, losing someone from an already declining network of friends means the next step closer to complete isolation and possible serious depression resulting from complicated grief. This course will help the Funeral professional become well-versed and actively involved in the advocacy of the advanced aging population.
