Grief and Death in Epilepsy: Learning From Loss
Grief and Death in Epilepsy: Learning From Loss
Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 2:00 pm Central Time
Mortality in epilepsy is impacted by factors that are not often present in other disease states, including the suddenness of death, and the common scenario where the risk of death was never discussed. This free webinar will explore grief among those who have lost a loved one to epilepsy, with a focus on the arc of grief over time, the impact of whether disclosure took place prior to death and what “interventions” were most helpful in the time following death of a loved one.
