Vic had been on Crawford Ward for two weeks and was feeling very concerned that he was not making any progress.

1.4.2 Concepts of a good death The concept of a ‘good death’ is highly contentious. Definitions vary according to different historical and cultural contexts. At certain points in history there has existed formal teaching about the proper conduct of death and dying, perhaps the most noteworthy being the medieval books on ‘the art of dying well’.

2.2 Neuronal changes during grief Recently medical researchers have been joined by neuroscientists determined to pin down precisely those parts of the brain that are activated by the experience of grief.

Eight volunteers who had experienced the death of someone close in the previous year agreed to be studied as part of a research project con
