Abstract

The purpose of this research is to know the meaning of death for children and adolescents. The study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The participants were eight children and adolescents at the age of 9–15 years, who were left by their father or mother. Data were collected from the interview. The result of this research showed that all participants had different reactions in facing the death of one of their parents. The loss resulted in deep sadness, feeling the loss of prominent figures, and even a lack of love of intact family.
