Is there such a thing as a pediatric oncology grief counselor?

Yes.: Children's medical centers have resources who specialize in child bereavement. Your pediatrician, school, psychologist or psychiatrist can also assist. Don't underestimate your clergy or other parents who have struggled with similar experiences.
