Description
Summary:	Objective: Identify how the child means mourning in front of an oncological disease in a foundation from Cali, having as reference Kúblers phases of mourning and the Neimevers conception of loss. Materials and methods: A qualitative, descriptive study with a sample consisting of 3 mothers with their daughters, who were diagnosed with cancer, who were living in the La Divina Providencia Foundation and who attended outpatient chemotherapy. For the collection of information, non-standardized interviews and free observations were used. Results: Cancer, although it is considered an affectation of the physical body, significantly mobilizes the emotionality of the child and his family. The parents are the main reference of the child at the time of facing a situation or a problem, in this way the child creates from what he observes around him, the meaning of what is happening. The management of information during the disease recognition process plays a fundamental role in the development of emotional and physical acceptance of the disease. The child is isolated from the decisions that must be made for his improvement, making him a passive agent in his process. Conclusions: During the minor's adaptive process, the psychotherapist plays a very important role in the way in which he understands and faces his illness and his day to day, because before being diagnosed, the infant begins to notice changes in his body, to which he will assign a meaning, thus is relevant to communicate the child properly, the reason for their body and emotional changes at the right time, so he can live a process without negative predispositions, starting with a chat with the doctors and parents in which the child is present.
