Editor's Notes
- Tears are normal. If this is too uncomfortable, please feel free to step out.
- IE: teenager relieved, or grand multip relieved. Ambilence is normal in pregnancy, componded by grief now
- Ectopic or tubal pregnancy, spontaneous abortion – ie miscarraige, late pregnancy loss, stillborn, vanishing twin, neonatal or newborn death
- Other folks think they should be over this by now
- Beginning to find meaning in life again Due date, delivery date, kindergarten, milestone of nieces, nephews close to their loss
- If subsequent pregnancy when taking history, ask about other loss
- Wants to make it “all better”, gets tired of listening
- Autopsy viewed as desicration
- Autopsy seen as desecration
- Pregnancy is natural state – decreased PNC Even seizure like activity with grief – normal in their culture
- Open ended questions, sometimes just your presence is enough Don’t be afraid of silence
- If grandparent wasn’t allowed to grief prior loss, may want to spare child this pain
