“…In fact, interventions are potentially deleterious for "normal" grief. However, despite some exceptions (e.g., Murray et al, 2000) interventions remain largely focused on grief following end-of-life care and deaths in hospital settings (e.g., Foliart, Clausen, & Siljestrom, 2001;Kaunonen, Tarkka, Laippala, & Paunonen-Ilmonen, 2000;Nesbit, Hill, & Peterson, 1997;Reilly-Smorawski, Armstrong, & Catlin, 2002), rather than following bereavements that are perhaps just as likely or even more likely to result in "complicated" outcomes, including sudden, violent, preventable, and stigmatizing deaths; and deaths outside hospital and palliative care settings, because the bereaved are not easily "known" and identified by service providers.…”

A key theme in the bereavement literature is the recognition that every grief experience is unique and dependent on many variables, such as the circumstances of the death, characteristics of the bereaved individual, their relationship with the deceased, the provision and availability of support, and a myriad of sociocultural factors. Concurrently, there are corresponding efforts to define "normal" grief and delineate it from "complicated" grief experiences. The discord between these two potentially opposing statements remains a paradox evident within the three major tensions within the thanatological literature-the dominance of grief theories, the medicalization of grief, and the efficacy of grief interventions. Three recommendations for moving beyond the paradox are discussed-the provision of improved grief education for service providers, the bereaved, and the wider community; the conduct of research that emphasizes the context of grief and is relevant to service provision; and the examination of current grief interventions.A clear and consistent theme within the thanatological literature is the assertion that the grief experience is very much affected and influenced by a myriad of variables and the interactions between these variables. Various key reviews (e.g., Center for the Advancement

Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO O estudo teve por objetivo descrever os antecedentes, atributos e conseqüências do conceito de morte digna da criança. Utilizou-se a estratégia de análise de conceito para avaliar os 40 artigos, tendo como foco publicações nas áreas médica e de enfermagem, que estudaram ou focalizaram a morte digna da criança. Os atributos do conceito de morte digna da criança incluem: qualidade de vida, cuidado centrado na criança e na família, conhecimento específico sobre cuidados paliativos, decisão compartilhada, alívio do sofrimento da criança, comunicação clara, relacionamento de ajuda e ambiente acolhedor. Poucos artigos trazem a definição de morte digna da criança e, quando isso ocorre, essa definição é vaga e, muitas vezes, ambígua entre os vários autores. Esse aspecto indica que o conceito ainda não é consistentemente definido, demandando estudos de sua manifestação na prática clínica, contribuindo com os cuidados no final da vida em pediatria.

“…As experiências do processo de perda e luto dos pais pela morte da criança com câncer, bem como o processo de morrer vivenciado pela criança, têm sido investigados em vários estudos (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) . Os relatos dos familiares, principalmente das mães, revelam que, mesmo decorrido longo período após a perda da criança, emoções e sentimentos da convivência com a doença ainda permaneciam vivos.…”
