The Death Of A Child

The death of a child is experienced with great resistance because it is understood as an interruption in the life cycle—often seen as untimely and unfair. Pediatric nurses care for children in high-mortality environments, such as the pediatric intensive care and oncology units and, as a result, are directly affected by childhood death (Papadatou, 2000). Caring for a dying child and their family is an emotionally charged situation (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2000; Catlin and Carter, 2001; Stutts

other hand, one million children born in India are dying every year even borer they become 28 days old. A child born in India is 14 times more likely to die during the first 28 days than one born in the US or UK.

Job chapter 3 depicts the reversal of the creative order in light of suffering and the distortion that its

A child, who, “has not always live in the tool room and can remember sunlight and its mother’s voice.” A child that, even if he got away from this life would never be happy again. Why does no one help him? Because of this child, everyone in Omelas is happy, and will always be happy, as long as there is one, the child, who suffers for the good of the city

As a young child, everything was positive. Everything was okay; nothing in the world could have possibly gone wrong. Even in a graveyard, everything seemed to be another day. The green grass, the tall stones, the light blue sky, hanging over our heads. “It’s a park mom! Look at all these stones to rest behind after a game of tag!” I received some soft smiles, some little laughs. There is nothing heart-breaking about this place. Or at least I thought. It only took one word to have my world come

These teams were founded on the idea that discrepancies in reporting will occur less when all documents related to a child death are reviewed by a team of professionals with the purpose of sharing information related to the death circumstances (Webster, Schnitzer, Jenny, Ewigman, & Alario, 2003).

earth-shattering moment anyone could imagine, the death of a child. Growing up, I have always seen boy’s picture that hangs above our mantle. Every January, we have family and friends bombard us with phone calls, trying to take my family’s minds off of the tragedy, but until recently, I never understood exactly why. At fourteen, I finally gained the nerve to ask about the boy whose picture hung above the mantle, so my teary-eyed mother sat me down and told me about the death of my big brother. In January of ‘98

and they had a some sort of a celebration for the child's special day. When Baileys rusty old beaten station wagon pulled up, the sun was just about set.
