The death of a child is painful to all witnesses, but the experience varies among individuals, and differing perspectives lead to a variety of definitions for a good death. This analysis is undertaken to clarify the dimensions involved in a good death of a child with cancer and to examine them from 3 perspectives: the dying child, the child's family, and the health care providers.

Key Words: Key words: death • cancer • child • concept analysis
