Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe one nurse's experience in implementing a grief and loss program for caregivers, teachers, and guardians of orphans in a remote village in Zambia. Nursing professionals at a Texas university responded to the needs of this underserved community because of the high death rate caused by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The rewarding experience produced successful outcomes in terms of spiritual service, and continued efforts toward achieving social justice. Evaluation results proved that a distance approach to implementing grief and loss initiatives in Zambia is achievable.
