This study explored the strategies adolescents used to cope with their parents' illness in the last months of life and shortly after their death. The authors describe the 'two worlds' in which adolescents live and the stages through which they pass in the course of the parent's illness and following bereavement. The results of this research can help in the development of targeted interventions to meet an adolescent's specific needs.
