    This study explored grief and trauma in children who lost fathers to suicide. Reminiscing was common, and boys showed more behavioral issues, with PTSD linked to divorce threats and body discovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Bereavement Studies

    Background:

    • Limited research exists on child suicide survivors.
    • Previous studies often excluded direct child interviews.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the bereavement process in prepubertal children after paternal suicide.
    • To examine grief, trauma, and behavioral responses within three years of loss.

    Main Methods:

    • Interviews conducted with 16 prepubertal children, their mothers, and a relative/caretaker.
    • Assessment of grief, trauma, and behavior within 25 months post-suicide.

    Main Results:

    • Reminiscing emerged as the most frequent grief behavior.
    • Males exhibited higher scores on Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) compared to females.
