  • Description: Parental dying is a life changing experience for children. This study explores children’s strategies and (inter)actions in their everyday life when facing critically ill parents and imminent death, from the children’s and parents’ perspectives. A qualitative systematic review was carried out, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022306862). A literature search and screening in six databases resulted in eighteen articles. Thematic analysis showed that children were capable of developing various strategies to cope in everyday life, even in vulnerable situations. From parents’ and children’s perspectives, inclusion, openness, and communication about parents’ situations, taking children’s age and needs into consideration, were important to face and cope with the situation. Children were life-capable, also in vulnerable and difficult situations. This calls for the necessity of developing children-led support, by acknowledging, and taking the children’s experiences, and resources, as starting points to tailor adequate support for children of critically ill parents.
