PEDIATRICS Vol. 105 No. 2 February 2000, pp. 445-447

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
The Pediatrician and Childhood Bereavement

Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health

Pediatricians should understand and evaluate children's reactions to the death of a person important to them by using age-appropriate and culturally sensitive guidance while being alert for normal and complicated grief responses. Pediatricians also should advise and assist families in responding to the child's needs. Sharing, family support, and communication have been associated with positive long-term bereavement adjustment.
