Parents undergo intense grief reactions following the death of their newborn infant, but frequently fail to receive emotional support from their family and circle of friends. Because this response from family and friends differs from what occurs with the death of an older child or adult, this study was undertaken to explore the events and personal interactions that helped or hindered the parents following their infant's death. Alternations in familial and extrafamilial relationships are described in seven families with infant deaths, and useful support mechanisms are proposed.
新生儿死亡后，父母会经历强烈的悲伤反应，但他们往往无法从家人和朋友圈中获得情感支持。由于家人和朋友的这种反应与年长儿童或成年人死亡时的情况不同，因此开展了这项研究，以探索在婴儿死亡后对父母有帮助或有阻碍的事件及人际互动。本文描述了七个有婴儿死亡的家庭中家庭和家庭外关系的变化，并提出了有效的支持机制。
