Introduction Pregnancy loss can be defined as the loss of the fetus and it may happen as a result of various reasons which may not relate to the actions of the mother or any other party. Pregnancy loss has four major faces which include; miscarriage, stillbirth, birth loss and medical termination. Miscarriage happens within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy with more happening in the first trimester. It results from genetic problems of the fetus which may inhibit the development of the fetus. However, miscarriage may result from ectopic pregnancy where conception takes place outside the uterus and the embryo starts to develop outside the uterus causing medical risks and thus calling for a medical termination. In stillbirth, the pregnancy is lost during the last 20 weeks of the gestation period and the baby is born dead. Its cause depends on many reasons which may range from problems with the placenta to genetic conditions of the fetus. Birth loss refers to a situation where the baby is born alive but premature due to a medical problem with the mother. However, doctors have developed techniques to increase the rates of survival of the baby. In medical termination, the pregnancy is terminated for medical reasons, for instance, if the mother’s life is threatened by the continuation of the pregnancy and when the fetus has a genetic problem and the mother opt to terminate the pregnancy rather than having the baby (Cuisiner et al, 1996). Despite the reason for the loss of the pregnancy, both the mother and the father and all those who were involved in the pregnancy suffer emotionally, physically and sometimes they may develop psychological problems; thus psychological and emotional support should be given to the parents. Perinatal Grief Grief can be termed as the emotional reaction of a loss shown by a person’s feelings through shock, numbness, anger, guilt, sadness or anxiety (Hughes & Riches, 2003). Mourning, grieving and bereavement can be used interchangeably where mourning means a process through which a person uses to deal with emotions and bereavement refers to a period during which a person overcomes the emotions. When a pregnancy is lost, both the mother and the father of the unborn child will experience grief and will whereby they will slowly accept and let go of the psychological ties with the baby. The grief process or mourning process may be complex and may depend on previous pregnancy loss, previous childbirth occurrences, a span of gestation, maternal age among others; each person will have a different and unique way of dealing with the grief. Moreover, the cultural environment, for instance, avoiding talks related to the loss, avoiding morning publicly, avoiding participating in loss-related activities among others may impede loss adaptation (Leon, 1995). Perinatal grief has been associated with sadness, anxiety, eating disorders, obsessions with the lost baby, guilt shame among others to both parents (though women are regarded to morn more despite the stage of the loss). The span and power of grief will highly depend on the time of development of the fetus and the emotional connection between the mother and the developing fetus. As the saying goes “time heals every word”, grief will cease as time passes by and greatly decline within the first y
