Quality end-of-life care is a process that requires clear and consistent communication delivered by a compassionate multidisciplinary team within a framework of shared decision-making. The knowledge and communication skills of the interdisciplinary team can greatly influence the ability of the parents to cope effectively with their loss around the time of death and after they return home. Structured bereavement follow-up and staff support programs provide ongoing support for families and caregivers.
