TY - JOUR PY - 1979// TI - Inhibition of mourning by pregnancy: psychopathology and management JO - British medical journal: BMJ A1 - Lewis, E. SP - 27 EP - 28 VL - 2 IS - 6181 N2 - A bereavement during pregnancy is difficult to mourn: a pregnant woman is so increasingly preoccupied with the new life that mourning is interrupted and often impossible to resume later. This may lead to idealisation of the child as a reincarnation of the dead person or child abuse. A bereaved woman should be helped to mourn at the time of death and to keep alive the expectation of future mourning once her baby is thriving.
