Answers:
Always show empathy in the health field. Definitely act professional of course the are three stages to death of course their is the denial part...you can let them know that we all will die someday it is completely normal we just have to know that death doesn't stop for anyone unless it is stopped by a higher power...You can act professional and also show that you are human also never show sympathy only empathy there is a big difference between the two
Offer compassion and support and show that you can offer hope for those who are in the process of dying, and for those who have survived them. such as "Most people carry great sadness in their soul for friends and loved ones who have died. Though memories are filled with sorrow and compassion, we learn from the Bible that life must go on; God still has a plan and purpose for you, and that includes growing in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You are not abandoning the life of a loved one if you continure to live your life. The first lesson to be learned during this time of loss is to never let your grief turn into resentfulness. True sorrow should remind you of the grace of God and of all the wonderfull provisions He has lavished upon us. Use these provisions to grow and use them to comfort others who are also grieving. It is a time to come to understand and rejoice in the fact that your loved one is face to face with God, in a place of no more sorrow, no more tears, no more pain. The old things have passed away and all things are new. They are in a place of perect happiness and contentment. Their journey is complete, they are home with the Lord and have the best of everything. Jesus Christ said in John 14: 1-3 "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you, for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may be also."
