The assumption is sometimes made that the mother's own home is the most appropriate place for the grieving mother to begin to mourn her loss. For this reason she may be transferred with undue haste. We must ask why this assumption is made and whether the mother participates in the decision to return home. Other's research suggests that the community may not be able to provide the support which the mother needs and may even make excessive demands of her. The midwife's visits to the mother's home provide an important opportunity to care for the mother, although this opportunity may not always be well utilised. Coping strategies, including self-help groups have been recommended.
有时会有人认为，母亲自己的家是悲痛的母亲开始哀悼失去孩子的最合适场所。因此，她可能会被过于匆忙地转移。我们必须追问为何会有这样的假设，以及母亲是否参与了回家的决定。其他人的研究表明，社区可能无法提供母亲所需的支持，甚至可能对她提出过高要求。助产士到母亲家中探访为照顾母亲提供了重要契机，尽管这个契机可能并不总是得到充分利用。有人推荐了包括自助小组在内的应对策略。
