Abstract (en)
Loss of the child is a traumatizing life experience which can lead to complicated grief. The aim of the study was to evaluate emotional state of the mothers’ who have lost their child at least six months ago. It was a pilot study in which 27 women participated. 7 of them (25,9 %) had symptoms of moderate depression, 1 participator (3,7 %) had symptoms of severe depression; 16 participators (59,3 %) had symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of depression and PTSD correlated with somatic complains. We can conclude that child loss is a risk factor for prolonged grief and this population needs special attention for mental health disorders.
