Healing Children's Grief
This work identifies five developmentally derived age groups that clarify important differences in children's grief and mourning processes, in their understanding of events, their interactions with families, and their varying needs for help and support
Impact of parental terminal cancer on adolescents
Psychological and emotional concerns of adolescents during a parent's terminal cancer are described.

The underlying psychological and emotional components of distress were examined in 87 children with a parent in the terminal phase of cancer. Common fears, concerns, misperceptions, and behavioral consequences are analyzed, as are more severe psychological and behavioral reactions.
