Join Doctor Pat Fosarelli for this wonderful educational series of Pediatric End of Life Care.

To identify the stages that dying children and their siblings experience, leading to the ability for offering helpful suggestions for parents and other caregivers to ease the difficult journey that these children and teens travel.

a) Stages that infants, toddlers, and preschoolers experience

b) Stages that elementary school-age children experience, and

c) Stages that younger and older adolescents experience.

An additional objective is to be able to identify the physiological processes both in the dying child and in his/her vicariously suffering sibling(s).
