	Continuing Bonds: New Understandings of Grief (Death Education, Aging and Health Care Series) by Dennis Klass (Editor), et al Book Details Paperback: 364 pages Publisher: Taylor & Francis; (February 1, 1996) ISBN: 1560323396 The accustomed 20th century model of the grief process emphasizes a necessity for the survivor "to let go" in order to establish new relationships. The 22 contributors to this volume assert a different vision: that for many people a healthy resolution of grief enables them to maintain a continuing bond with the deceased in their lives and communities--despite a lack of cultural and professional approval. The scholars discuss our contemporary notions of grief, and analyze the experiences of bereaved widows, children, spouses, siblings, and cultures such as the Japanese to present a unique picture of how people experience loss.

	New standards developed for Bereavement Support Programs in Palliative Care Services in Victoria. Published by the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement The Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement undertook a 12 month project that aimed at identifying and developing structured and effective best practice bereavement support programs for palliative care services throughout Victoria. This project was funded by the Department of Human Services. The development of minimum standards for bereavement support programs in palliative care services in Victoria will assist the development of programs as well as improve the quality and consistency of existing services.

The Minimum Standards have been published by the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement and are available as a set comprising two documents. The first is the Minimum Standards for Bereavement Support Programs in Palliative Care Services in Victoria, listing the 12 standards and the criteria used for each.
