Death and dying is like a normal and natural part of nursing which one encounters almost on a weekly or monthly basis depending on how often the nurse works or where they work. This does not necessarily mean it becomes easy to witness or engage with. Although nurses may witness death and dying frequently, some nurses find it easier to process and accept death while others on their part still face challenges in their grieving process. Nursing care of humans can be complex so too is facing death and dying because it involves different people, patients, professionals with varying cultures, beliefs, habits, rites and spirituality. These differences influence how each person gives meaning to end of life issues as well as different coping mechanisms (Teixeira Prado, Leite, Silva, Johanson da Silva, & Aparecida Barbosa de Castro, 2018).
