Bereaved mothers' and fathers' prolonged grief and psychological health 1 to 5 years after loss—A nationwide studyPsycho‐Oncology, 28
Background Parents experience unique grief, which may be experienced differently by mothers and fathers. A lack of knowledge about the particular bereavement experiences of the parents of young adults exists. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate experiences and support needs of parents after the death of a child (aged 16-29 years) from cancer, exploring changes over time. Methods The study used a Charmazian constructivist grounded theory approach. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 11 parents (7 mothers and 4 fathers) purposefully sampled and bereaved between 15 months and 7 years. Data were analyzed inductively using the constant comparative approach for category development. Results “Living with continual loss” emerged as the core category central to parents’ experiences of bereavement. Feelings of continual loss were compounded by parents’ lack of information (“grieving in the dark”) and a perceived lack of understanding from families and friends (“grieving alone”). Parents discovered strategies to manage the feeling of loss: “changing routines,” “preserving the meaning of home,” “maintaining memories and presence,” and “sharing experiences.” Conclusions This is the first study focusing solely on the experiences and support needs of bereaved parents of young adults who have died of cancer. Parents live with a continual sense of loss irrespective of the length of bereavement, and a lack of bereavement information and empathetic emotional support can exist. Implications for Practice The need for improved information giving and development of peer support for bereaved parents has been identified. Cancer centers have a continuing role in developing and providing this support.
