<abstract> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>There is a cost to persons who counsel or work with individuals who are ill, dying, or bereaved.

This paper explores the phenomenon of carer grief. The paper also identifies strategies – both individual and organizational – that assist carers in coping with the experience of grief.</p> </abstract>
