Children often view illness, death and dying quite differently from adults. Finding the appropriate words and right approach is challenging, a knowledge gap the HCA Public Forum aims to fill.
By Toh Wei Shi, HCA Community Relations
How do we broach the topic of illness, death and dying with a child? Knowing how or what to say is never easy, especially when we are struggling to come to terms with the experience ourselves.
What about preparing a child for seemingly premature farewells? Whether it is the child who is experiencing illness or losing a family member, goodbyes are always difficult.
All of the above subjects and more, will be covered in this public forum, which will feature top-notch experts in the paediatric palliative care field from the United States.
