Parental Grief Response to Perinatal Death.
Smith, Anne Clarke; Borgers, Sherry B.
Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v19 n3 p203-14 1988-89
Examined grief responses of parents suffering perinatal loss and explored effects of gender, type of loss, time since loss, number of losses, and subsequent pregnancy on grief response. Responses to Grief Experience Inventory from 176 such parents revealed subjects suffering grief. Grief response was affected by subjects' perception that loss was not understood. Parent gender was only significant variable. (Author/NB)
