Current models of bereavement care do not address all of bereaved parents' unique needs. Diverse challenges limit parents' ability to access certain bereavement services. A web-based intervention prototype for bereaved parents was developed. Using convenience and snowball techniques, 14 participants (pediatric providers, software developers, and bereaved parents) were enrolled in a descriptive, cross-sectional feasibility and usability study. While the intervention was generally considered acceptable, three themes were identified to enhance its usability and acceptability: timing; delivery; and revisions. Further intervention development is needed to improve both short- and long-term physical and psychological outcomes for bereaved parents.
