Parkes researched the grief of widows, as have many others. Unlike previous researchers, Parkes was able to demonstrate the contribution of the wider social community by demonstrating the value of relatively ‘low-tech’ interventions, such as bereavement counselling. 22 Researching childbearing loss The significance of counselling is enhanced by his observation of the widespread and harmful effects of the stigma of loss, which may result in social deprivation. Parkes’s ideas were utilised by Forrest and colleagues (1982) when they researched support and counselling after perinatal bereavement.
Hence, for parents who regard their child as their ‘stake in eternity’ a fundamental threat has been posed to the continuity of life, adding a new and frightening significance to their own mortality. Elements of survivor guilt may leave the mother feeling ‘It should have been me’, further increasing her confusion. Lack of contact – The mother, like others, may have mistakenly believed that love only develops when the baby is seen and known (Bowlby, 1990). Because they assume that little contact means no affection, it may be thought that no loving mother–child relationship exists.
It is necessary to closely examine our care of the grieving mother and the knowledge on which it is based. The development of research into perinatal grief The knowledge-base which we use to care for the grieving mother originated with Sigmund Freud (1959 [1917]), who likened grief to a ‘painful wound’. This helped dispense with the Judaeo-Christian view of grief, which regarded it as an unnecessary and unhelpful luxury; mourners were urged to avoid fruitless and unavailing grief. Freud, whose ideas were clinically derived, moved thinking in the direction of therapeutic support of bereaved people.
