Abstract
Introduction: A child's death due to cancer impacts parents deeply, and generates great suffering. However, some parents manage to overcome this pain, and discover a new purpose for their lives. Objective: To understand the experiences which assist fathers and mothers to revive after the death of a child due to cancer. Patients and Methods: A qualitative phenomenological model was applied. In-depth-interviews of consenting fathers and mothers who took part in a group called Corporacion Re-Viviendo (Re-Living), were recorded and transcribed verbatim. For the analysis of the data, methodological precision and ethical criteria were utilized. Results: Data analysis revealed a dynamic and continuous process of multiple lived experiences, facilitating a transition from survival to revival for the participants. Conclusion: Through a process of personal growth and active renewal, parents can give meaning to the life, agony and death of a son or daughter. Thus, they allow themselves to develop the course of grief.
