  • Feedback on a bereavement referral program after coroner referral following a child’s unexpected death

    Open AccessElaf Agha, Clara Miller et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2026

    In this qualitative study, we investigate the perceptions and impact of a Bereavement Referral Program (BRP) developed to address the needs of parents impacted by unexpected pediatric death. The BRP starts when a coroner connects parents to a grief navigator (GN) who helps parents find bereavement and social support resources. This work aims to understand the efficacy of the BRP from parents' perspectives using semi-structured qualitative intervi…

  • Availability of bereavement support following traumatic pediatric death in a large metropolitan area

    Annika Divakar, K James et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2023References: 1

    Following an unexpected pediatric death, survivors undergo unique trauma. Medical examiners (MEs) evaluate most of these deaths. We evaluated the bereavement support available to survivors in the Chicagoland area following a pediatric death. We had two goals: to characterize the available bereavement support options and compare the locations (by zip code) of support groups with the locations (by zip code) in which pediatric ME cases occurred. We …

We conducted a cross-sectional, interview-based study of 20 adolescent/young adult (A/YA) PICU patients and 75 parents of PICU patients to elucidate perspectives on biorepository research. A/YAs had a positive attitude toward biobanking. In young adults, comprehension was higher for knowledge of a choice to…

  • Bereavement Photography for Children

    Kelly N Michelson, Kathleen Blehart et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2013Cited by: 3References: 2

    Reports of in-hospital bereavement photography focus largely on stillborns and neonates. Empiric data regarding the implementation of bereavement photography in pediatrics beyond the neonatal period and the impact of such programs on healthcare professionals (HCPs) is lacking. The authors describe the implementation of a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) bereavement photography program and use questionnaire data from HCPs to describe HCPs' ref…
