Abstract
English The article explores the way in which Iranian children were affected by grief after being uprooted and having experienced the loss of family members, their homes and communities. Lack of access to information about what had happened to their immediate family members and uncertainty concerning the future were the most important expressed worries. French Cette étude examine la façon dont les enfants iraniens ont immédiatement été affectés par la douleur après s’être vus déracinés et avoir vécu la perte des membres de leur famille, de leur maison, de leur communauté. Les deux principales détresses exprimées sont le manque d’information concernant le sort des membres de leur proche famille et l’incertitude quant à leur avenir. Spanish El artículo explora la manera en que los niños iraníes fueron afectados, en forma inmediata, por pena después de haber sido desarraigados y de haber experimentado la pérdida de miembros familiares, sus hogares y comunidades. La carencia de acceso a información sobre lo que ocurrió a los miembros de sus familias inmediatas y la incertidumbre sobre el futuro, fueron las preocupaciones más importantes expresadas.Keywords
