As healthcare professionals, it is our hope to walk alongside the stages of grief that one may experience. Grief is individual and the stages of grief (denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) can present in no particular order allowing one’s bereavement to pose challenging. For many, one may undergo through these stages concurrently as their loved one happens to be receiving services with Advantage Health Systems Hospice.
