Address the needs of the family after the loss of a loved one with cancer" 

Grief is an emotional response that a person experiences after suffering a loss. It may be accompanied by painful and intense feelings that come and go randomly. In families going through a cancer process, there is always the expectation of receiving the news of the death of their loved one. That is why mourning is fundamental to conclude this stage of their lives.
 
Due to the above, this postgraduate certificate in Grief Management will provide a psychoeducational experience that will help the physician to understand what a normal bereavement process is like and what factors complicate it. This will enable you to provide family members with the tools to cope with their grief in a healthy way.

Because of the emotional pain experienced after the death of a loved one, it is necessary to consider an approach that goes beyond the illness and the end of life. For this reason, there are models such as Bowly's model and the nuclear belief model, among others. All of them help to explain, empirically, the suffering of a person according to the degree of attachment.   

At the end of the program, the student will be able to apply the appropriate techniques to deal with their patients and family members, making this program an excellent opportunity to guide the physician in such a complicated process.
