Opening the window after someone dies is a tradition that hasn't died out. All over the world many nurses and families abide by this practice. It is said the souls of ancestors gather at the time of death of a family member and, regardless, this aids the soul transitioning to the next world.

GCSE and A-level pupils in England are given 5% more if a parent dies close to exam day or 4% for a distant relative. They get 2% more if a pet dies or 1% if they get a headache. Critics say the system panders to an "excuse for everything" attitude.
I've found that the easiest way to tell a teacher about my loss is through an email, especially if the loss just happened. Emailing means you most likely won't have an awkward conversation in person with them, and you can plan what you say more.
EVIDENCE “Those who allow themselves to go through the grieving process are healthier overall, those who do not allow it struggle more with personal care, relationships and reluctancy of getting close to other patients.” (Domrose) “The frequency of moral distress situations that are futile or lead to death has a significant relationship to
Facing issues related to death and dying is a natural part of nursing – but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. For some nurses, the death of a patient can be one of the most difficult moments of their career.
Nurses will unavoidably encounter patient deaths throughout their career, which can take an emotional toll. Thankfully, there are ways that nurse managers can
Don’t forget to give yourself some time to absorb what happened. It can be scary and sad and you still have other patients to care for! Take a break afterward and have someone cover your patients once the death has been taken care of for 15 minutes.
No matter which way a patient dies, there are 7 things that must be accomplished afterward.
I’m going to try and help you prepare for this tough situation. First, there are two kinds of patient deaths – expected and unexpected – and how you react depends on which you are experiencing.
Make sure you get a funeral home name from the family member running the show. You’ll call them once the family is all done. They’ll let you know how soon they can get there to pick up the body. If it’s going to take a while, then you need to send the body down to the morgue and communicate that to the funeral home.
If the family is anxiously waiting, I do a quick skin clean, throw a sheet on, clean up what was left from the code, and let everyone in. Make sure you give the family any jewelry left on the patient (and document what you gave and to whom!). Give them time, privacy, and respect. Don’t rush them.
If they do not want an autopsy and they are not a ME case, then you can remove lines and tubes. If they are, you must leave everything in. If you’ve got some time, get them cleaned up and presentable for the family. Grab a fresh top sheet, remove everything (foleys, IV’s, ETT’s, central lines), try to close their eyes, and clean off any mess left from the code (blood, secretions, etc).
When you have an expected death (a patient placed on comfort care, inpatient hospice, etc), it’s a little different. Typically family is around if not, they need to be notified immediately.
