Although the death of a child today is a relatively uncommon experience, significant social costs, including increased mortality, morbidity, and financial strains are experienced. To date grief and mourning have been most commonly considered as phenomena that lie within the fuctioning of the individual. Little is known about the experience of families during bereavement.

520 $a Although the death of a child today is a relatively uncommon experience, significant social costs, including increased mortality, morbidity, and financial strains are experienced. To date grief and mourning have been most commonly considered as phenomena that lie within the fuctioning of the individual. Little is known about the experience of families during bereavement.
520 $a This focused ethnography examined family mourning using two units of analysis. Thirteen families and thirty-four individuals were interviewed to develop an understanding of the culture of families who have experienced the death of their child.
520 $a Results indicated that parallel processes occur for the individual family member and for some families as a social group during bereavement in which they experienced grief, mourning, and reformulating/restructuring. While some families are able to work together in a shared process during bereavement, others cannot. As well, families form a context of support for the individual process. For both individuals and families there are characteristics that influence this process, termed antecedents. For the individual these are their attitudes, beliefs, and patterns of coping. For families these are their norms, and roles, and routines. For some families these antecedents appear to preclude shared family work. When family serves as context for the individual process during bereavement, family members support one another by creating space for differences in individual patterns of grieving and mourning. Family members also engage in "loving acts" and "kindness acts" in order to aid the family members in their individual process and assist the family to restructure through creating a place for the spirit of the child, and through the creation of new routines and roles. This process during bereavement following the loss of a child has been conceptualized as family work.
