Patients’ and family carers’ experience of community-based end of life care during the Covid-19 pandemic in a Scottish health and care partnership
A sharp increase in demand for home-based end of life care in Fife,Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic, was the catalyst for a mixed methods study examining the reality of such care. This study sought to understand how patients and families experienced care and support at the end of life in their own homes during the pandemic. The qualitative arm of a wider study used narrative methodology. Purposive sampling ensured that current patients and t…
Re-Imagining Childhood Grief
Bereavement during childhood impacts children's wellbeing and biopsychosocial development. Research examining impacts and outcomes of childhood bereavement and supportive interventions has highlighted a myriad of factors that influence children's unique, complex experiences of grief, necessitating a personalized, child-centred approach. Children's grief support is underpinned by well-established grief theories studied primarily in adult populatio…

Difficulties for a practitioner preparing a family for the death of a parent
A practitioner inquiry within an NHS specialist palliative care context used narrative methods to explore difficulties faced by practitioners when assisting a family in the process of preparing a child for the death of a parent. In this account, the practitioners failed to facilitate advanced family preparation despite several attempts. Methods to address and overcome inherent ethical difficulties and reveal relational practice were developed. Da…
Invitation to grief in the family context
Grief is a family affair, yet it is commonly viewed as an individual phenomenon. As an international, interdisciplinary team, we explore grief within a family context across theoretical, research, practice, and educational domains. Families are complex and working with this complexity is challenging but necessary for a holistic view of grief. We therefore encourage an increased focus on theorizing, researching, practicing, and educating using inn…
An English Lecturer, a Palliative Care Practitioner, and an Absent Poet Have a Confabulation
The possibilities for developing the poet Douglas Dunn's archive (which includes the drafts and manuscripts for his collection Elegies, dealing with the terminal illness and death of the poet's wife from cancer) for therapeutic benefit are explored by an English lecturer (C.J.) and a palliative care practitioner (C.M.). This has led us to explore the potential benefit of this resource for health practitioners working with those affected by cancer…
But … I Come from the Land of the One-Liner
Palliative care professionals often have to negotiate with patients about the profoundly meaningful using non-verbal communication. This case study explores one narrative landscape available to a practitioner working with a patient who is uncomfortable with verbalizing thoughts and feelings and reflects on the challenges and questions it poses
Telling children their ill parent is dying

In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with nine participants who had been through this experience. Thematic analysis was used to highlight the internal experience within the well parent, in relation to the dying parent and to their children. Participants' experiences wer…
