title: Parent Grief 1-13 Months After Death in Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Describe changes in mothers' and fathers' grief from 1 to 13 months after infant/child neonatal/pediatric intensive care unit death and identify factors related to their grief.
  
  
  METHODS
  Mothers (n= 130) and fathers (n= 52) of 140 children (newborn-18 years) completed the Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist at 1, 3, 6, and 13 months post-death.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Grief decreased from 3 to 13 months for mothers and from 3 to 6 months for fathers. Grief was more intense for: mothers of deceased adolescents and mothers whose child was declared brain dead.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Mothers' and fathers' grief intensity may not coincide, resulting in different needs during the 13 months after infant/child death.
