title: Caring for families when a child dies.
abstract: The death of a child is unthinkable; it conjures up thoughts of innocence...unjustified suffering...an end in the midst of a beginning... The author, hospital pastor and director of pastoral care at Children's Hospital of St. Paul, offers his personal insights to nurses and caregivers of dying children from his experience in providing spiritual support to families who have had a child die.
