Abstract

The subject of death, as an object for reflection, is practically nonexistent in post-modern developed societies. Although death is an inevitable fact for humans, it is not usually a subject of conversation or personal reflection. As student nurses, we aim through this work to study death in children more thoroughly in order to gain further insight so that it help us deal and come to terms with infant death more easily in the future.
