Once the child is in the dying process it is important for the nurse to move her focus to care that helps the child move toward death. Comfort measures are always important for the dying patient. When it comes to family the nurse needs to convey genuine feelings for kindness and sympathy to the family. Physical contact is also important for the child and the family. The nurse also needs to be aware of the families that do not respond to touch and may stiffen or draw back. During this....the nurse needs to just step back and withdraw her hand. The nurse also needs to refrain from sharing any personal stories about his/her personal loss. As a nurse we need to give the family choice about what is possible during the dying process. The family may want to hold the child or climb in bed with them. An important thing for these situations is offering presence. Just being there in the room (if wanted) and providing emotional support are important.

Have one family meal at the table to introduce your child to new foods and if they don't like them don't force them to eat it.
