    • Abstract:
      About 46,300 children in the UK experience the death of a parent each year, according from the Childhood Bereavement Network – that is 127 children every day. And when a parent dies from a prolonged illness, such as cancer, evidence suggests their dependant children experience higher levels of maladaptive grief and symptoms of post-traumatic stress than children whose parent has died suddenly or naturally.
