title: Chinese families after the death of a child from cancer.
abstract: As part of a major study of the impact of childhood cancer on Chinese families, 17 families agreed to be interviewed after the death of their child from cancer. They convey what happens to the child's body after death and what remembrances the family has kept of their child's belongings. They share how they have adjusted and what they would like other parents who have a child with cancer to know. A picture emerges of what it is like to have a child die from cancer in China.
