Studies have shown that children's death is more tragic than the
middle age children (Rosen, 2020). Parents who lost children
compared to the spouse's loss had more intense grief,
depression, somatic types, anger, guilt, and despair. The loss of
children renders the parents vulnerable ( Rosen, 2020).
Additionally, such children usually have just started their lives,
and their loss cuts their dreams and the hope of their parents.
Some parents who believe in life after death usually long for
their death to unite with the child (Hutti & Limbo, 2019).
Middle-aged adults have generally lived part of their life and
accomplished some of their dreams, and their death may not
cause psychological symptoms and depression to the parents for
long.
Chronically ill Child Compared to Sudden Death of an Adult
If the child has a chronic illness and the adult experiences a
sudden death, the pain of the adult's loss is more painful since it
was unexpected. For the child with a chronic illness, their death
is usually expected, and it may not cause sudden grief. (Hutti &
Limbo, 2019). Even though death is unwanted, the realization
that there are few days for the child gives the parents comfort
and hopes to spend the remaining days with the child as they
provide a quality life. Death of any child, whether sudden or
chronic illness, affects the parents.
Actions to take when Parents Lose a Child
The grieving process is essential for any loss. Adequate time
should be given to the child's parents to grieve to avoid adverse
mental and psychological effects associated with the loss
(Rosen, 2020). Parents rely on the support of the healthcare
professional for help during the time of grief. The parents
should be given adequate time with the child’s body. Dressing
the child, removing the medical devices, and applying oil to
their bodies can help the parents create good memories. The
nurses should be there for the parents. They should offer
emotional support. The nurse can talk to the parent, express
their condolences, and encourage them to talk about the
memories with the child.
Communicating to the parents
The healthcare provider should always communicate effectively
with the parents. They should say sorry to the parents, describe
the memories with the child, and encourage the parent to do so.
The nurse should communicate the last offices done to the child.
In breaking the news, the healthcare providers should allow the
parents of the child to cry if they need to. They should also
offer open-ended support(Hutti & Limbo, 2019). The nurse
should let them be there for them if need be. Receiving a letter,
a phone call from the healthcare team shows that the child is
remembered and encourages them.
