RESUMO
Findings from a community study of parentally bereaved children demonstrate that forewarning of death is not associated with more favorable mental health outcomes than is sudden death of a parent. The applicability of the of the general anticipatory grief literature to the circumstances of children facing the loss of a parent is called into question, and the need to assess more carefully the effect on children of a parent's protracted terminal illness is emphasized.
