“The father is just as upset”: why we need multi-level strategies to support men when a baby dies
Grief over a miscarriage, stillbirth, or early newborn death affect both parents, but most support and research focus solely on the mother. This often leaves fathers to grieve in isolation or try to suppress their grief to support the mother. In this blog post, the authors of a new systematic review in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth summarize existing research on men’s grief and propose a model for understanding the factors that affect it.
Expectant parents do not anticipate birth and death to collide. However, for millions of families worldwide each year, the death of their baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death within the first 28 days of life, is a devastating reality.
Historically, parents’ grief over these losses remained unacknowledged. Over the past few decades, research into the emotional burden of grief has resulted in the development of sensitive healthcare and psychosocial support for families. However, bereaved parents continue to report stigma and societal norms which can minimize their loss.
