Description
1 out of 4 hospice patients in the U.S. are military veterans, and these veterans have very unique grief responses. Hospice professionals can provide specialized bereavement care for the men and women who protect our country. In this episode, we discuss the unique concerns of military veterans and their grief that's often complicated by PTSD or survivor's guilt. Those who serve military veterans also face a unique set of challenges, and may be affected by Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder (STSD).
