Abstract
The Pinwheel Model of Bereavement is a process-orientated model of grief which recognizes loss as a unique lived experience. The model and relevant nursing response are described using Margaret Newman's nursing theory of health as expanding consciousness. The model is based on research by Carter (1989) and clinical experience. The contextual theme for the model is "personal history." Six core themes are: being stopped, hurting, missing, holding, seeking, and valuing. Three meta themes are change, expectations, and inexpressibility. Capacities for "being with" the bereaved are identified for the practice of nursing.
