Abstract:
This qualitative study examined the long-term experience of childhood parental death by exploring how adults (a) retrospectively conceptualize their experiences of childhood parental death and (b) currently experience their parent’s death. Analysis of interviews with 12 adults who experienced parental death as children identified six themes centered on the impact of parental death circumstances, their initial reactions, other losses, long-term grief triggers, and relationships with the deceased parent, surviving parent, and other family members on their grieving process. Themes indicated the grief experience was ongoing and connected to attachment needs.

Abstract:
The present study draws on elements of kinship and life course perspectives to examine the influence of parental death during childhood on adult sibling contact and closeness. Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households ( N = 3,684), comparisons are made between adults who experienced early parental death and those with no history of childhood family disruptions, and between adults who experienced early maternal death and those who experienced paternal death during childhood. Results from Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analyses indicate that adults who experienced parental death during childhood do not have more sibling contact, but are closer to their siblings in adulthood than adults who grew up in intact families. In addition, adults who experienced maternal death during childhood have less sibling contact than adults who experienced paternal death, but there are not differences between these two groups in terms of closeness. These findings indicate that it is important to assess the long-term impact of early parental death on adult outcomes and that gender of the deceased parent may have more significant implications for some dimensions of adult sibling relationships than others.

Abstract:
AbstractBackgroundAdverse health and social outcomes are known to occur more frequently following parental death during childhood, but evidence is lacking for comparing long-term risks of internalised v. externalised harm.MethodsThis national register-based cohort study consisted of Danish persons born 1970–2000. The Civil Registration System and National Causes of Death Register were linked to ascertain parental deaths by cause before cohort members' 15th birthdays. From age 15 years, hospital-treated self-harm episodes were ascertained through linkage to the National Patient Register and the Psychiatric Central Research Register, and violent crimes were identified via linkage to the National Crime Register. Hazard ratio and cumulative incidence values were estimated.ResultsSelf-harm and violent criminality risks were elevated following parental death during childhood. Covariate adjustment for gender, birth year and first-degree relatives' mental illnesses attenuated these associations, although significantly heightened risks persisted. The estimated hazard ratios did not differ greatly according to which parent died, but losing both parents conferred particularly large risk increases. Risks for both adverse outcomes were higher in relation to unnatural v. natural parental death; violent criminality risk was especially raised among individuals exposed to parental death by unnatural causes other than suicide. The association was strongest when pre-school age children experienced parental death.ConclusionsEffective early intervention is needed to help youngsters who have experienced the death of one or both parents to develop immediate and sustained coping strategies. Enhanced cooperation between health and social services and criminal justice agencies may mitigate risks for these two destructive behaviours.

Abstract:
Background:Current knowledge concerning the association between exposure to stressful life-events (SFLEs) in childhood and later risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) is sparse.Objectives:We studied the associations between SFLEs in childhood and subsequent risk of MS in a nationwide cohort of 2.9 million Danes born from 1968 to 2011.Methods:A SFLE in childhood was defined as exposure before age 18 years to parental divorce, parental death, or death of a sibling, using information from the Danish Civil Registration System. MS cases in the cohort were identified in the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Registry. Associations of SFLE with MS risk were evaluated by incidence rate ratios (RR) of MS obtained in log-linear Poisson regression models.Results:Persons exposed to any SFLE in childhood were at 11% elevated risk of MS (RR = 1.11; 95% confidence interval: 1.03–1.20), compared to non-exposed persons. Stratification by subtype of SFLE showed that parental death and death of a sibling were not associated with MS risk. However, persons exposed to parental divorce were at 13% increased risk of developing MS compared to non-exposed (RR = 1.13; 1.04–1.23).Conclusions:Associations of SFLEs in childhood with risk of MS are weak. However, parental divorce is somehow associated with modestly increased risk of MS.

Abstract:
This descriptive, correlational study was undertaken to determine the relationship between self-esteem and reported mourning behavior as it pertains to loneliness in young adults who, as children, had experienced parental death. A sample of 184 males and females between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five years completed the four questionnaires that were the research instruments. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. Analysis of the data revealed that self-esteem was the single best predictor of loneliness and that reported mourning behaviors significantly added to the prediction of variance in loneliness.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to look at the consequences of parental death in children. The first part of my thesis examined what can be expected after the death of a parent. It looks into theories about grief, physiological changes related to grief, behaviors of grief seen in children. The second part of the thesis dealt with potential risks that the individual might present after the death of a parent during childhood. This section looks at the difference in outcomes in respect to how the parent had died and differences in outcomes as related to gender. The third part of this thesis focused on what should be done by caregivers to help the child after the death of a parent. It focuses on the attachments between caregivers and these children who are dealing with the death of a parent. It looks at how the caregiver should talk to a child about death and activities that can help the child with healing. It then looks at the importance of making the deceased present in the life of the child and how to incorporate a new partner into the family dynamic, should this arise in the future.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a group intervention with 12 bereaved children, aged 8-12. All of the children had been bereaved of a parent within the past 2 years. Due to the small number of children available for inclusion in the study, 6 of the children had previously received individual professional help for grief related issued. The design was a repeated measure pre and post intervention between group design. The study compared the two sub-groups of bereaved children with a group of non-bereaved children who were matched in terms of age and sex.

This phenomenological study has elicited the remembered mourning reactions of twenty-four men and women who were bereaved of one or both parents between the ages of seven and seventeen. Qualitative methods and a retrospective design were used to explore how subjects grieved, avoided the mourning process, and in ways more or less adaptive, endeavored to master their loss. The major objectives have been to identify some of the shared reactions of this group to premature parent death, and to illuminate their experience of being in the world subsequent to this loss. The study has further explored how parent loss was experienced when bereavement occurred at certain developmental stages (latency or adolescence) , or as a result of particular circumstances (suicide, sudden or anticipated death). The loss experience was remembered as a constellation of changes which both preceded and followed from the parent's actual death. In retrospect, the death was described as a nucleus or formative event around which later developments had been organized. The loss had usually been interpreted by subjects, and the meaning that was made emerged as a deeply personal, idiosyncratic formulation. Parent loss resulted for all in some alteration of their sense of self, in a loss of innocence, and an end of childhood. Particular circumstances had seemingly imposed some special strain or trauma; when the parent's death occurred at a younger age, as a result of prolonged illness, sudden accident or suicide, these deaths appeared to have been more difficult for subjects to resolve than those which resulted at a later age, or from natural causes. Gender differences were also noted: father-bereaved subjects (male and female) were more likely to feel overburdened or engulfed by their widowed parent than were their mother-bereaved counterparts. The phenomenon of early parent loss was described as a complex and multi-faceted event, the understanding and treatment of which may be enhanced by using a variety of theoretical perspectives. Treatment objectives should include helping the bereaved to resume and advance their mourning process and to further those developmental tasks which were not accomplished before the parent's death.

Abstract:
Abstrakt Bakgrund: När ett barn drabbas av livshotande sjukdom påverkar det hela familjen och deras livssituation. Sorgen hanteras på olika sätt beroende på individuella egenskaper och vilket stöd de fått. Sjuksköterskans stöd till föräldrar med döende barn är avgörande för hur sorgen hanteras. Syfte: Att beskriva föräldrars erfarenheter av att ens barn dött till följd av cancersjukdom. Metod: Litteraturstudiens datainsamling utfördes i databaserna PubMed, CINAHL och PsycINFO. Resultatet i åtta kvalitativa artiklar analyserades utifrån Fribergs analysmetod. Resultat: Litteraturstudiens resultat beskriver föräldrarnas erfarenheter av att förlora ett barn i cancer. Fyra kategorier skapades: “När det hemska sker”, “Att hantera sorgen”, “Stöd respektive brist på stöd” samt “Att gå vidare i livet”. Konklusion: Föräldrar som förlorat ett barn är utsatta för ett enormt lidande och hanterar sorgen olika. För att lindra det lidande som föräldrarna genomgår, och delvis kommer att leva med resten av sina liv, kan sjuksköterskan ge tröst och hopp. Sjuksköterskan bör sträva efter att visa förtroende och respekt för föräldrarna samt skapa en stödjande vårdkultur. För att lindra lidandet kan sjuksköterskan arbeta utifrån familjefokuserad omvårdnad, vilket kan innebära att föräldrarna är bättre förberedda när det hemska sker och på den sorg som drabbar dem. Nyckelord: Föräldrar, erfarenhet, barncancer, död.
Background: When a child die, parental grief is handled differently depending on individual characteristics and the type of support they receive. Nursing support is crucial for how parents handle the grief.Aim: To describe parents' experiences following the death of a child due to cancer disease.Method: The data collection of this literature study was performed in the databases PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO. Eight qualitative articles were analyzed based on Friberg’s method.Results: The results were compiled into four categories: "When the horrible happens", "Managing the grief", "Support and lack of support" and "Moving on with life".Conclusion: Parents who have lost a child are exposed to great suffering and are dealing with grief in different ways. In order to relieve the suffering that parents undergo and may live with the rest of their lives, the nurse can provide comfort and hope. The nurse should strive to show trust and respect for the parents' suffering as well as create a supportive care culture. In order to relieve suffering, the nurse can use family-focused nursing, which may mean that parents are better prepared when the terrible happens and on the grief that affects them.

Abstract:
Experiencing the death of a family member at a young age is a confusing time for many children. Some clinicians have reported that parental death is the most stressful life event for children, and some studies have traced adults' mental health difficulties to unresolved childhood grief (Balk, 1983; Krahnstoever, 2006). Despite the hardships endured after a family member's death, some children manage to endure the pain of loss better than others because they are resilient due to a variety of protective factors (Masten, 2003; Bonanno, 2004). The present study examined the relationships between childhood grief, potential protective factors (social support, physical and academic self-concept, parent-child relationship quality) and adolescent outcomes (depression, social satisfaction, and academic achievement). Longitudinal data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care (SECC) was utilized in the present study. The sample consisted of 1,364 children, including 261 children who experienced the death of at least one family member in third or fifth grade. There were twelve moderation analyses that were used to examine buffering effects in the present study. Findings in the present study did not support the hypotheses that the psychosocial factors examined could be protective factors between experiencing the death of a family member and the adolescent outcomes examined. Results also revealed a significant main effect of social support, parent-child relationship quality, and physical and academic self-concept whereby those with higher levels of these psychosocial factors tend to have lower levels of depression. Having higher physical and academic self-concept was found to be positively associated with academic achievement. Contrary to what might be expected, a main effect of having higher levels of social support, parent-child relationship quality, physical self-concept, and academic self-concept were associated with lower levels of social satisfaction. Although the hypotheses were not supported in the present study, it is still important that the topic was examined and findings from the present study can guide future research in further exploring possible protective factors for children who experienced the death of a family member.

Abstract:
Although there is a strong body of existing literature on early parental loss, the majority of research is devoted to examining the consequences of parental death in childhood. Less is known about the long-term impact of this early loss. In particular, there is a lack of understanding about what it is like to live with early parental loss in young adulthood. This hermeneutic phenomenological study addresses the question: What is the young adult’s experience of living with early parental loss? An in-depth exploration into the lived meaning of early parental loss was conducted through open-ended interviews with 8 young men and women (20-30 years old) who lost a mother or father in childhood (between the ages of 9-18 years old). Interview data was coded and analyzed using van Manen’s (2014) hermeneutic phenomenological method, including the process of guided existential inquiry. The fundamental existential themes of lived body, lived time, lived space, and lived other were used as a guide to thematic representation of data. Ten identified themes characterize the essential qualities of this phenomenon: (1) The Grief Experience, (2) The Parentless Identity, (3) Body Awareness, (4) The Transition, (5) The Unexpected Visitor, (6) The New World, (7) The Empty Space, (8) Navigating Relationships in New Ways, (9) Continuing Bonds, and (10) The Relationship With Loss. Through rich experiential descriptions, presented findings demonstrate that the early death of a parent has an ‘ever after’ impact and significantly influences many facets of life in young adulthood. Implications for clinical practice and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Death was a fact of Tolstoy’s life from the start. He lost both of his parents during childhood and then, as a young man, Tolstoy witnessed and caused death at war. Death continued to haunt him. Whether he was writing about a war zone, a pastoral landscape, a slum, or a family estate, Tolstoy’s works are set in the ‘valley of the shadow of death’. One of Tolstoy’s missions as a writer was to remind readers of their own mortality and to make them think about how to live and love in the face of death. ‘Death’ discusses Tolstoy’s treatment of dying in Childhood, Boyhood, Youth; War and Peace; Anna Karenina; and ‘The Death of Ivan Ilyich’.

Abstract:
Bereavement in childhood, particularly the loss of a parent, represents a significant adversity, although the majority of bereaved children do not develop anything other than transient symptoms. Nevertheless, there is evidence that a brief preventive intervention can reduce subsequent morbidity. Children, who lose a parent through suicide, homicide, accident, or disaster, especially if they have witnessed the death, are at high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychiatric disorders and their treatment needs should be assessed by mental health professionals.
