title: Helping bereaved children and parents.
abstract: When a child dies, or is bereaved of a parent or sibling, it changes a family for ever. Grief affects different family members in different ways and may prevent them from supporting one another effectively. An understanding and well informed approach from health professionals can help the family manage their grief and adjust to their new life without the person who has died.
