Drawing upon extensive interviews and assessments of school-age children who have lost a parent. The volume presents major findings from the Harvard Child Bereavement Study and places them in the context of previous research, shedding new light on both the wide range of normal variation in children’s experience of grief and the factors that put bereaved children at risk. The book also compares parentally bereaved children with those who have suffered loss of a sibling, or of a parent through divorce. A cection includes a review of intervention models and activities, and a screening instrument to help identify high-risk children.
