  • Title: Comfort and consolation: a nursing perspective on parental bereavement.
    Author: Yoder L.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 1994; 20(5):473-7. PubMed ID: 7885766.
    Abstract:
    The death of a child is the most potentially devastating event that a family can ever experience (Lundin, 1984). The death of a child also has a significant impact on the lives of health care professionals who must provide care both for the child and for the grieving family members. Nurses can assume a critical role in supporting bereaved families by becoming cognizant of parental grief responses and by developing an awareness of the needs of families in planning appropriate interventions.
