‘I went out and I had a cry’: what aged-care staff say about their grief when residents die

<https://theconversation.com/i-went-out-and-i-had-a-cry-what-aged-care-staff-say-about-their-grief-when-residents-die-262937>

"As our population ages, we’re living longer and dying older. End-of-life care
is therefore an increasingly important part of aged care. In Australia, around
50% of people aged over 85 die in an aged care home.

But what does this mean for those who work in aged care? Research suggests
aged-care staff experience a unique type of grief when residents die. However,
their grief often goes unrecognised, and they may be left with insufficient
support."
