In this article, Dr. Kelly Rhoades addresses what grieving children need from adults when someone they love is dying. It includes a discussion about the not-sohelpful, but familiar patterns that adults often revert to when facing death and grief, and offers alternative suggestions for working with children. The article first appeared in the May 2011 e-newsletter of the Children’s Project on Palliative/ Hospice Services (ChiPPS), NHPCO’s pediatric leadership council. To learn more about ChiPPS, see page 21.
