Abstrakt: Leukemia brings in changes in a child’s psychology that results in losses for the parents. The purpose of this research was to draw out and interpret the loss and grief process of parents whose children are suffering from leukemia. This research applied a phenomenological qualitative research design. The informants were parents whose children were suffering from leukemia. The instrument of this research was the researcher. The data gathering technique used consisted of in-depth interviews. This research was located in the Bona room of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital in Surabaya. We analyzed the data through triangulation and the sources used were reference materials. The result showed that the parents were shocked and in a state of disbelief at first, even going so far as to reject what had happened. The parents blamed themselves and were angry at everyone. Words cannot express their deep grief, and they tried to accompany their children every moment possible. The parents whose children were suffering from leukemia encountered loss and were going through a grieving process. The nurses were given the suggestion of giving the parents a chance to express their grief. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
