Perinatal mourning: examples of professional psychologist performance

Starting from the hypothesis that perinatal mourning can happen in a complicated way due to the breach of expectations and dreams deposited during pregnancy, this paper aims to know the performance of the hospital psychologist in cases of perinatal death and to investigate some possibilities of intervention in this occurrence. For this, the present study was developed through bibliographical research, seeking references that point to the role of the hospital psychologist in the face of fetal losses and the possibilities of welcoming these mothers. It is concluded that, for this, it is necessary to offer emotional and social support so that there is a resignification of the loss.
