Article Title: | Parental death: A preventive intervention |
Abstract: | The untimely death of a spouse and parent is extraordinarily painful and difficult. Whether a brief intervention such as the one we are exploring is enough to make a significant difference in the mourning process and future optimum survival has yet to be seen. To date we are gratified that the immediate response of most of the surviving spouses and children is that the intervention is a helpful experience. |
