White the psychologist is helping him with that process, I will do my research to in order to better assist him with the grieving process. Unfortunately, since I am not in when the psychologist is in the facility doing his rounds with the residents, I left a message with the unit social work to hand to her asking what direction and where we both are, and if we could both be on the same side in order to better help MQ with his
