Methods: Qualitative research, carried out in the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of a public maternity hospital in Rio Grande do Norte, with 17 nursing professionals, through a semi-structured interview. After being transcribed, the data were subjected to Bardin's content analysis and interpreted in the light of the theory of Interpersonal Relations proposed by Travelbee. Results: Four categories emerged from the analysis: "Caring and welcoming people, feelings and stories"; "Reactions in the midst of pain: moving between acceptance and suffering"; "Communication of bad news: challenges and strategies"; "The weight of caring and suffering". Final considerations: Family assistance can be established using Travelbee's principles, as they offer timely theoretical support for nursing actions in the context of the process of death and dyingAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/DeathInterpersonal RelationFamilyNursingTeamPediatric NursingMorteRelações interpessoaisFamíliaEnfermagem pediátricaEquipe de enfermagemMuerteRelaciones interpersonalesFamiliaGrupo de enfermeríaEnfermería pediátricaarticlehttps://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2021-0007
