Allowing the parent to express their grief without holding back is the best choice. It is important to be a supportive listener and let the parent talk about their child and their feelings without interruption or changing the subject. Avoiding the parent or trying to commiserate by placing blame on physicians is not helpful and may exacerbate their grief.
