Effect of caregiving at end of life on grief, quality of life and general health: A prospective, longitudinal, comparative study.

CONCLUSION: It took 9-10 months for the caregivers' grief, general health and quality of life to correspond to the comparison group. These findings present an opportunity for palliative care research and practice to consider how best to support the majority of caregivers without grief complications so that their pre- and post-death support needs are realised.
