After the death of a loved one from cancer, spouses and children can feel adrift from the hospital and home care supports that were available to them throughout the illness. In response to this need, a time-limited series of three activity-based children's bereavement support groups (preschool, school age, adolescent) that run simultaneously was developed. A fourth group was added for parents, which used a psychoeducational model and focused on issues raised when parenting a grieving child. All of the groups served to reduce anxiety around the subject material and decrease isolation caused by loss. Offering bereavement support groups for children and their parents promoted family communication and healing and provided continuity of care within the outpatient cancer care program and community-based home care agency.
在亲人因癌症去世后，配偶和子女可能会感觉与患病期间所获得的医院及家庭护理支持脱节。针对这一需求，开发了一系列为期有限的、同时开展的三个基于活动的儿童丧亲支持小组（学龄前、学龄期、青少年组）。还为父母增设了第四个小组，该小组采用心理教育模式，专注于抚养悲伤孩子时出现的问题。所有这些小组都有助于减轻围绕主题材料的焦虑，并减少因失去亲人导致的孤立感。为儿童及其父母提供丧亲支持小组促进了家庭沟通与康复，并在门诊癌症护理项目及社区家庭护理机构内提供了持续护理。
