This article describes the development of "Remembrance," an interdisciplinary approach to acknowledge and process the deaths of patients on an inpatient palliative care unit. The authors suggest that such a practice is an important component of both quality end-of-life care and clinician self-care, which should be routinely taught and incorporated into clinical services. A template is included that summarises the approach, which can be easily adapted by other hospitals/services to use.
