Os participantes são oito mães e um pai de crianças com cancro diagnosticado entre os oito meses e os dez anos de idade. Foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas, codificadas e analisadas segundo o método Grounded Theory. Quatro das entrevistas tinham sido realizadas anteriormente por Gonçalves (2000). A partir do momento do diagnóstico, a maior preocupação dos pais é o medo da morte da criança e a incerteza inerente, que se traduz num choque, é inexplicável, permanente, invasiva, e que os pais procuram ocultar.

A criança doente torna-se o centro da dinâmica familiar, exigindo novos recursos e competências ao papel parental: apoio conjugal ou de terceiros, estratégias de minimização do sofrimento, a focalização das atenções no filho doente, procurar viver um dia de cada vez e do modo mais aproximado da normalidade possível.]]></p></abstract>
