Occupational therapists are encouraged to reflect on doing, being, and becoming not only as it relates to the development of their profession but also in their own lives (Wilcock 1999). This article is a description of that process for me and my family in our journey through perinatal loss. This autoethnography uses a personally situated account of perinatal death. This article is a form of self-narrative that places me and my family in social context through the lens of an occupational therapist. This article aims to convey the meanings attached to the experience of grief and loss in the context of participation in everyday occupations. By sharing a perspective on the lived experience and connecting it to the literature on grief and occupation, readers will be able to decide if the connection holds as valid from a theoretical and clinical perspective.
职业治疗师被鼓励不仅要反思自己的专业发展,还要反思自己的生活,思考自己的所作所为、身份认同和发展变化(Wilcock 1999)。本文描述了我和我的家人在围产期丧失过程中的这一经历。这种自传体民族志使用了一种个人化的围产期死亡叙述。这篇文章是一种自我叙述的形式,通过职业治疗师的视角,将我和我的家人置于社会背景中。本文旨在传达在参与日常活动的背景下,与悲伤和失落相关的意义。通过分享对生活经历的看法,并将其与悲伤和职业的文献联系起来,读者将能够从理论和临床的角度判断这种联系是否合理。
