The next section examines some of the family and spiritual issues surrounding death and dying. Psychological reactions to death and dying are discussed from the standpoint of Ukrainian culture. The next section suggests some ways in which human services workers can facilitate adjustment to death and dying among their elderly Ukrainian clients.
