We want to help people from different cultures who live in America. Sometimes they have a hard time getting the right care because they are different from most Americans. We want to learn their understanding of their grief and the cultural factors that influence their grieving process. We want to talk to them and listen to their stories. This way, we can help them trust the doctors and nurses caring for them. We can also help them find more support online. We think this will make them healthier and happier. We also want to show others that having different feelings and beliefs is okay. We hope that by doing this study, we can help the therapists develop a deeper understanding of the grieving experiences and provide culturally appropriate care to their patients.
