The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of the family talk intervention (FTI) and its acceptability to dependent children when a parent is cared for in palliative home care. The main goal of FTI is to increase family communication about the illness. The present paper derives from a pilot study and is based on 25 children's reports, involving both questionnaires and interviews, after participation. A majority of the children appreciated the structure and content of FTI. They felt seen, heard, and acknowledged by the interventionists and recommended FTI to other children in similar situations.
