nc ncAii i oncMiv OF LOSING A CHILD
It should come as little surprise that research shows that parents who experience the death of a child face great challenges to their mental wellbeing. The study found that bereaved mothers are particularly vulnerable. Their risk of hospitalization is twice as great as that for fathers. Most surprising is the fact that, while a bereaved mother’s risks of hospitalization is highest in the first year after a child’s death, the risk remains significantly elevated even five years or more after the loss. Such is the force of the devastating grief that parents face in such situations. These findings point to the need for special counseling for' grieving parents and increased sensitivity to their vulnerability from family and friends.
