Grief and bereavement support are crucial to good palliative and end-of-life care. Support models differ between and within services. In addition, while patient and family needs vary based on risk and resilience factors, acute or unexpected death is associated with complicated grief. Our study was a retrospective review of 159 patients who died within 72 hours of hospital admission. We found a high proportion of unexpected and traumatic deaths and low grief and bereavement support rates. Further work is needed to streamline policies to optimize patient and family-centred grief and bereavement support in the acute hospital setting.
