The aim of this study was to explore the
insights of bereaved family carers about the most appropriate time to be
involved in a research interview about the end of life and death of their
family member. The findings indicate that interviews with the bereaved may be most fruitful for
researchers and beneficial to family carers when they are allowed to make the
choice about timing for themselves, beginning weeks after the death of their
family member.
