Bereavement and loss - The loss of a loved one such as a parent, sibling, grandparent or friend can turn a child’s world upside down. Grief can bring all sorts of emotions, upset, sadness, hurt and anger because they are gone and, fear because the child may be afraid of other loved ones dying too.

Today is my first day doing my practice observation in the Infant Room Classroom Number 3, my fears are how the infants go reaction to see me because I am new person for them that they never have seen before, how the teacher go feel to have a student in the classroom, if they will support me and cooperate with practice, and how the parents will response to see a new teacher in the classroom, I know for my teaching experience that parents are very special about the people who is round to their children.

There are a variety of emotional problems for parents that come from losing a child in a miscarriage or still birth. On the website Compassionate Friends, it explains many of the issues that parents are going through in this type of traumatic event. In the first years following the death, parents may express anger, depression, and guilt. It is perfectly normal to put this type of focus on the situation in such a sensitive time. Also, they need to be able to "let it out" and talk about the events that have happened in a way to release the intense mix of emotions going on inside of them. Especially in parents who have a religious background, they may begin to question God's role in their lives and feel anger towards their faith. The grieving

1. The death of a child is especially difficult because it is seen to be out of the normal cycle of life- a child shouldn't die before their parent or grandparent. For couples, the death of a child can change relationship dynamics, as people do not always grieve the same way. Perinatal deaths are extremely difficult because there is more than the death to grieve. Parents grieve the loss of hope and planning for the future; the loss of everything they imagined that their child could and would be. The move from anticipation to heartbreak can be a challenging one, resulting in an experience of grief unique to that type of situation.

After interviewing the social workers Hope and Hodge (2006) found that they had observed similar patterns regarding the factors that affect the adjustment of children who lost a parent to death. Boys tend to show externalizing behaviors whereas girls tend to show internalizing behaviors due to the lost of a parent. They found that the cognitive level rather than the age of the child affects their adjustment more. Therefore younger children and preadolescents seem to have more difficulty adjusting to the death of a parent than adolescents. The results did not support earlier findings that sudden death present more difficulty adjusting than expected death. Most of the participants reported that sudden and expected death is equally traumatic to children. The participants also said that the adjustment of the caretaker is important for a positive adjustment for the children. The caretaker must be able to grieve while supporting the child’s need to grieve. This study shows that children of different ages and genders react different to the death of a parent.

This paper reviews recent studies on the long lasting effect pregnancy loss has on it's families. Research has shown that families have increased risks of developing mental health disorders and strains on previous relationships. As research continues to develop we see that pregnancy and infant loss is taking a social economically toll on the families surviving this tragedy.

This season of life audio clip is about losing a loved one. Most of us have grieved the loss of someone we love, and yet few understand the process of grief. Dick describes how a police officer told him there had been an accident and they needed him to identify his son’s body. His son was 30 and a college student. Their son was a member of a golf team and he was captain for the last two years. He was a very strong athletic man and he was about 6’4. The mother describes him as very handsome, and he had a marvelous outgoing personality and he was very respectful to them and he was their first-born. They then described how he died, his car broke down in the afternoon and he was walking back on the sidewalk, when an impaired driver swerved off the road and hit him. Then Dick and Dorothy described the days that followed after their son had been killed. Dorothy said you have many, many emotions and on the second day she just lost it, she said she hated everything, and everybody. Dick said he would go in his office, close the door, sit there all day, and do nothing. Dorothy then said it is difficult to even make your mind work, when this initially happens and you are so shocked and then she says maybe that is nature’s way of allowing your body to come to terms with the traumatic experiences and the shock that you have been given. The funeral came quickly and was gone. The funeral was over, dishes were being taken back, and things were getting back to normal but it doesn’t happen

Many women have a time in their life where they have a pregnancy loss whether it’s an abortion, miscarriage, or stillborn. A lot of mothers go into depression when the loss of their baby is out of their control such as miscarriages and still born. There are family members very close to me who went through this such as my mother who had a miscarriage with in the first trimester and my first cousin who had at still born in fourth trimester. This information is imperative so women can be careful when they are pregnant; also before the pregnancy occurs the information in particular about stillborn and miscarriages is important for potential mothers to know certain procedures they could do in order to prevent and prepare for this tragedy.

Gerber-Epstein et al. (2009) mention that there are three theoretical approaches to the emotional distress miscarriage creates. The first approach is the response of losing the embryo, Gerber-Epstein et al. (2009) explains that it is almost the same as losing a living family member. The second approach is when the first approach is treating the loss of the embryo. Since the embryo is felt by the women and knows that it is part of her body now, her body may reject it and to the woman, it is more like a “betrayal of her own body” (Gerber-Epstein et al., 2009). The last approach is the miscarriage occasion as a traumatic experience. Gerber-Epstein et al. (2009) discusses that from the traumatic signs come anxiety, hard time falling asleep, fear,

The incidence of congenital malformations in multiple births is up to 4 times higher than that of singleton births (Menasinkai & Chiniwar, 2013). Corsello and Giuffrè (2012) define congenital malformations as single or multiple defects of the morphogenesis of organs or body districts identifiable at birth or during intrauterine life. The whole family and their quality of life are impacted when a child is born with birth defects, particularly emotionally. Parents of children with congenital malformations face a unique challenge in adjusting and learning to care for them appropriately. Post diagnosis of congenital malformation, the parents often go through the typical stages of grief very similar to if they had lost the child. This is recognized as a part of the process and it is normal for parents to mourn the loss of what they expected to be a healthy child (Lemacks, Fowles, Mateus, & Thomas, 2013). The parent’s emotional and mental health can be adversely impacted and as a result suffer depression and anxiety, which can have a devastating effect on the entire family (Song et all., 2012). Siblings and parent’s interaction outside the family can be hugely affected with parents frequently being unable or unwilling to take part in particular social activities. Grief counseling is shown to help

The effect of losing someone close to you can prolong your life physically and mentally. There is some individual who forgets about the past and moves on and there some who can't bury the hatch with the fact they lost someone close in personal. In the book “The Shawl” by Cynthia Ozick the protagonist Rosa suffered a massive blowout in her life. The story takes place during a devastating event in the history called Holocaust. Rosa just witnesses her child's death. She was a Jewish woman helplessly taking care of her daughter in the concentration camp, without letting anyone especially the Nazi’s about her baby. The people around her knew that she had a baby with her but never revealed the secret to any officer. Desperately holding her baby wrapped

Young children and especially teens going through a loss are more susceptible to fall into depression, to act out to try to get attention, or to turn to drug and alcohol abuse. Statistics show that children that have lost a parent are 50% more likely to fall into trouble. The reason they are more likely to get into trouble is because they don’t know how to grieve properly and their methods could lead them to substance abuse. A community support group could also potentially keep the guardian left to care for the child from having to pay for the expense of a therapist. My family had experience with the financial cost of a

In the future, sibling loss groups and other, more generalized grief groups will be established. Groups will be run primarily at GCC's planned counseling office, with an eye toward future expansion into public schools, health care centers, and senior citizen organizations. Groups in these community settings will be part of GCC's outreach program, and will be provided at no charge.

Pregnancy is meant to be an exciting happy time; not only for the mother, but for the whole family and friends. So, when a woman miscarries, the psychological impact/ trauma is unbearable and very devastating. The experience and feeling of loss, grief, guilt, and shame caused by a miscarriage can take a toll on everyone. These feelings can also turn into a major depression in some women and possible questions of what could have I done differently, or feeling like you had a hand it in can start to surface.
