Specifically, the article draws attention to how an immigrant{\textquoteright}s grief can be further compounded by having to bid farewell to their loved ones from a land that is far away from their home country where the death of their loved one occurs. Immigration/work status intersects with socioeconomic status to create barriers to the individual{\textquoteright}s ability to travel home to partake in their loved one{\textquoteright}s funeral rites. In light of current immigration flows to Canada such conversations are essential to create grief interventions that are timely and culturally appropriate.}, issn = {1532-5555} }
