Abstract
Bereavement care begins during the terminal phase of motor neurone disease as the family prepare for the death. Due to the long-term nature of the illness there is a need to allow the expression of painful feelings and to ensure that the family is adequately supported. The responsibility for care in bereavement lies not only with the family but with the health care professions, bereavement support groups and the whole community.
