Abstract

Growing old and dying are aspects of life most people do not care to think about. We tend to deny, avoid and when possible hide death as a means of escaping from it. Nursing educators are drawn into this situation because they must prepare nurses to cope with the many losses that will occur prior to a patient's final physical death. They must also help individuals to deal with the death of loved ones.
