By Robert szypko | April 3, 2009

The memory of an infant sibling dying in a neonatal intensive care unit significantly affects older siblings for the rest of their lives, according to a recent study published in The Journal of Pediatrics by researchers at Dartmouth Medical School. The study's authors, DMS professors Joanna Fanos, George Little and William Edwards, drew their research from interviews with 13 adults and one adolescent whose siblings died in infancy at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center between 1980 and 1990. According to the study, six participants reported "veiled" or secretive family communication, seven gave accounts of parents' ongoing grief and 11 reported high degrees of anxiety, particularly concerning pregnancy and their mothers' well being. Siblings of deceased infants often experience depression, anger, guilt and helplessness, the study found.
