You are working with a 65-year-old female client, Mary, who has been coming to see you for six months for grief and loss issues because she lost her sibling and her brother within a month of each other about a year ago. She has a daughter and a son who are both married and she has four grandchildren. Her children live a few hours away from her. She has three close friends whom she sees regularly. Mary has just been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and has stated that, although she is okay to undergo treatment that may extend her life, she does not want to. She stated that she just wants to end her suffering as quickly as possible because there is no hope of getting better.
