Sumario:This study was based on qualitative methodology in order to know the meaning of perinatal loss to the bereaved families and assess the psychological intervention in situations of perinatal grief. Five families participated in this study who experienced perinatal deaths, a maternity of Brasilia. The psychological record of the psychology of maternity and post-assessment interview death were used as instruments. From the analysis of Bardin (1977), which emerged five categories, namely: history of pregnancy, parents before her son’s death, desire to repair, to bid farewell to the baby, and evaluation of the psychology service in the situation of mourning. The results showed that intensive psychological work of mourning suffered by families still receives little support from social institutions, and health psychology can play a key role along with these families in order to prevent future trauma, to avoid pathological mourning and remedial pregnancies.
