The child with a chance of dying faces death in a very peculiar way, because the hope thar he or she managed to keep up to this moment changes with the impact of reality reactivating the first feelings of despair and pain for the separation of the loved ones. The main goal of this study is the attendance of a child in a terminal fase, using as a path the phenomenological reference. Twelve attendances have been done with children in terminal fases, where they were able to express significant situations of their living process, and reveal with great intensity many fears, like the ones of dying, of being lonely, of leaving the ones they love, among others. Before this we see the necessity of worring with matters interrelated to the feelings and emotions of these children who walk towards death, taking into consideration the possible means of help.
