The existing hospice palliative care programs spend a lot of time on bereavement and actually try to carry the bereavement past the point of death, but they're not funded within the health care system, so it's done by those programs and it is not done by the programs that aren't doing it.
Really quickly, one of the things you can do.... The compassionate care benefit—the federal benefit that we have all endorsed—ends the day your family member dies, and we've asked for them to extend it for a period of two weeks. It makes sense. They're looking into it. We heard that they took our repeated letters seriously, and they're going to look into it.
We have to pay attention to bereavement. When you don't do the service well and you don't provide support to family members who are bereaved, they end up in the health care system themselves, so it's very important.
Thank you for asking the question about bereavement.
