Helping adults with mental retardation grieve a death loss

the long version

Adults with mental retardation often grieve the loss of their loved ones. However, many times this grief goes unnoticed, without tears, and individuals are never given the chance to express their grief and recover from the death of those close to them. This special guide designed for professionals will help give these adults that chance. Luchterhand and Murphy's text will be essential reading for all helping professionals, including therapists, clergy, nurses, psychologists, hospice professionals, and specialists in developmental disabilities.
