| Resumo: | The loss of children disturbs the family balance. In order to resume life afterthe loss, mothers need to express their feelings and act spontaneously. This study investigates the maternal experience of women who lost their young children. This study used a semi-structured interview and the Draw a Family – Tell a Story Procedure. The data was analyzed by means of the free inspection method of clinical-qualitative material. The mothers demonstrated difficulty in expressing their feelings, which worsened he experience of the loss and the elaboration of the grief, making it difficult for these women to be mothers for the surviving children. The support from the environment showed to be essential for the mothers to elaborate the feelings deriving from the grief and thus believe in their capacity to act spontaneously to help and take care of their children, giving a new meaning to life after the loss. |
