Abstract
It is an assumption that the holistic and person-centred care delivered by hospices and specialist palliative care services helps to prepare people for the grief and loss of bereavement and produce a better outcome in terms of subsequent adjustment, than conventional care. There is, however, remarkably little evidence of the truth of this claim.Keywords
