 AB    This paper considers the stresses and satisfactions experienced by
       health care social workers as they help clients with grief and loss at a
       time of great fiscal restraint. Their clients face life-threatening
       illnesses such as AIDS and many forms of cancer. There are untimely
       losses in families and communities whose resources are dwindling. As
       social workers confront struggles with death and bereavement, they may
       receive limited support to deal with these stresses in their work. The
       authors suggest administrative strategies both to help workers reduce
       stress and increase satisfactions and to demonstrate the value of social
       work services to dying and bereaved clients along a continuum of health
       care.
