“…Dyer (1992) pointed out that the grief process is just as important for children as it is for adults. Those who try to protect children from death may be causing future problems for them (Dyer, 1992). P. R. Silverman et al (1995) reported that children often know more about a particular illness or impending loss than their parents realize.…”

“…A parent's unwillingness to talk about a dead sibling, for example, may lead remaining children to interpret the parent's behavior as an accusation that somehow they are at fault (Gibbons, 1992).

“…Although children in general need socialization and education about death to help them accept and deal with its inevitable occurrence in their lives (Dickinson, 1992), they need specific attention when death actually comes to a loved one (Dyer, 1992;Mahan & Calica, 1997;Siegel & Gorey, 1994). Saler and Skolnick (1992) reviewed Bowlby (1977aBowlby ( , 1977b and other researchers who suggested that the best adjustment situation for a grieving child is having a parent or surrogate who provides a solid base of both physical and emotional care, making himself or herself available to explore emotions, address questions, and discuss circumstances surrounding the death of the child's loved one.…”

SUM M ARYThe continuing shortage of transplant organs is a m ajor concern for both medical staff and the UK public. M edia interest has grow n recently with the prospect of using anim al organs as spare parts. Even if this procedure is fully developed and rati® ed by the relevant authorities, it is not likely to become a routine procedure for at least another decade. U ntil then, procuring greater numbers of cadaveric organ donors is the main hope for those w aiting for heart, liver and lung transplants. Those people awaiting a kidney transplant have the alternative of a live donor, although the prevalence is relatively low . The inadequate training provided for m edical staff in dealing with grieving relatives and m aking a request for organs is w ell docum ented. This is re¯ected in the high number of refusals from relatives of potential donors and the reluctance of some staff in approa ching fam ilies of potential donors. Clearly there is a need for some training in this area that deals w ith the fundamental principles of understanding the grieving process and using this inform ation in m aking a sensitive approa ch to the fam ily for organ request.Corresponde nce: M r Gurch Randhawa, Lecturer in Epidemiology,
