Summary

This study is testing a family-focused therapy for parents and children (ages 8-14) who have lost a parent to suicide at least a year ago and are struggling with prolonged grief.

The goal is to see if the therapy is feasible and acceptable, and whether it helps reduce grief symptoms in both adults and children.
