Death is the only certainty we have in life. While everyone knows that human life is supposed to end but no one is fully prepared to embrace it, neither his own nor his loved ones. The death of a close relative can be emotionally challenging as it is a critically serious life event for them. Therefore this puts an extreme responsibility on doctors and healthcare workers to announce the death of a patient to his/ her family members as the mode of declaration can affect the physical as well as psychological well-being (acute side effects like myocardial infarction, loss of consciousness or long term effects like depression, etc.) [1].
