Abstract: Pediatric palliative care is inherently challenging. Practical and ethical considerations can be complex and compounded by the denial and grief that accompany the experience of losing a child. Palliative care for children with life-limiting illnesses includes provision of expert pain and symptom assessment and management, appraisal of spiritual and emotional needs, mindful communication between the professional care givers and the child and his or her loved ones regarding advance care planning, and bereavement care for the child’s family [1].
