Abstract

Children may feel guilty about the death of a close relative. The reasons are analyzed: in most cases guilty feelings remain unjustified. Consequent changes in the child's behavior are described, including aggressivity, depressive symptoms and regression. A preventive comprehensive attitude of the surviving family circle will help children to overcome these feelings.
