GOMES, Pedro Geraldo Luciano  y  DUTRA, Nathália dos Santos. Maternal grief from a phenomenological look. Rev. NUFEN [online]. 2024, vol.16, e255488.  Epub 25-Nov-2024. ISSN 2175-2591.  https://doi.org/10.26823/rnufen.v16i01.25548.

This work aims to reinterpret maternal grief from a phenomenological approach. For its construction, it was necessary to discuss the construction of motherhood as well as address the constructions of the bond between mother and baby. Throughout the text, ways of dealing with death will be addressed as well as the taboos surrounding the topic of loss and mourning, these are generally accompanied by denial or culturally constructed prejudices. For construction, the methodology was used based on the bibliographical review of exploratory and descriptive literature based on studies already published on the subject. There is no intention here to present defined formulas, but to illustrate the possibilities of acceptance in the face of the helplessness faced by these women, and how grief can manifest itself in different ways in a mother’s life. For phenomenology, the possibility or realization of death awakens in the remaining entity a contemplation of its finitude from the end of the other, this other being a child, which can lead the mother to face a dilemma regarding the continuity of her motherhood.
