Dealing with AIDS-related loss and grief in a time of treatment advances

Craig Demmer, EdD, CHES, CGT

Recent advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS have dramatically changed the lives of many patients and their loved ones as well as those who care for them. However, not all patients respond successfully to the latest treatments. Hospice professionals need to understand the experience of AIDS patients and their loved ones in this period of hope and disappointment, and to find appropriate ways to support and care for them. This article explores the implications of treatment advances for AIDS patients, their loved ones, and professionals in dealing with loss and grief.

Key Words: AIDS patients • bereavement • end-of-life care • grief • HIV/AIDS • HIV treatment • loss
