AB Numerous articles stress the unique problems of mourning an acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related death and suggest
psychotherapeutic interventions. However, no studies have been conducted
that identify what differs in the grief process when the death was
AIDS-associated and whether the extensive clinical and research
literature on bereavement can be generalized to AIDS. This paper focuses
on a bereaved population that has suffered AIDS-related loss--the
uninfected children of mothers who die of AIDS, a group that has been
referred to as AIDS orphans. We begin with a brief discussion of factors
that complicate the grief process among those who lose a significant
other to AIDS. Next we discuss the factors that the extant clinical and
research literatures suggest may influence adjustment to parental death
in childhood. Then we apply this literature to parental loss in
childhood from an AIDS-associated death. Finally we recommend directions
for future research.
