The price of loss - a literature review of the psychosocial and health consequences of childhood bereavement

Article indépendant

LYTJE, Martin | DYREGROV, Atle

When a child loses a parent, their life is forever changed. A world that seemed safe and predictable suddenly becomes strange, frightening, and uncertain (Green & Connolly, 2009). In the time following the loss, it may be difficult for the child to imagine how to ever rediscover the joy of life and move past the loss. The loss of a parent is unfortunately not entirely uncommon, as Pearlman, Schwalbe and Cloitree (2010) report that about 4% of all children in the Western world lose one or both parents before the age of 18.
