This article presents secondary analysis of data from parents who, 50 to 70 years ago, birthed stillborn babies or babies with lethal anomalies and from adult children born after these losses. The stories reflect a time in history when parents were "protected" from seeing or holding their babies and mothers were unable to attend the funeral. There was no understanding by society or caregivers for parents' need to process the loss or resources to build memories. They provide a strong argument for health care providers to offer such resources to parents today and offer grief support.
本文对 50 至 70 年前分娩死产儿或有致命异常儿的父母，以及这些孩子之后出生的成年子女的资料进行了二次分析。这些故事反映了当时的历史时期，父母被“保护”起来，不让他们看或抱自己的孩子，而母亲也无法参加葬礼。当时社会或护理人员并不理解父母处理这种损失的需求，也没有提供相关资源来帮助他们建立记忆。这些故事有力地证明了，今天的医疗保健提供者应为父母提供这些资源和悲伤支持。
