Notifying NOK part 2 (Discussion Board)

In the article from EMS World, the author states that delivering a death notification often means giving someone the worst news they've ever received in their whole life.  As you think about this statement, how do you feel about the prospect of conducting a death notification? What would you personally do to make the notification "easier" on the survivor and why?  Be sure to support your opinions with credible research and to cite and reference your sources in APA style. Remember, writing mechanics count in every post you make.

If this is something that you have done in your current or past employment, please share your experience.
