This study looked at the financial and employment situation that parents of life-limited children experience. The first part of the article includes interviews with parents describing how their working and home lives are overwhelmingly affected by their child. In addition, many families, after their child died fell into further financial hardship. In the second part of the article, the author argues that from a moral perspective the state should financially supports families both prior and after their child's death, ranging from employment support, financial help and housing.
