Description

Jennifer Bute and three colleagues present a 2023 study of grief after pregnancy loss. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and abortion can leave lasting grief that doctors rarely screen for. The team asked women who had lived through such losses to judge a new short questionnaire, the Reproductive Grief Screen, meant to flag complicated grief.

The study mixed 27 interviews with 282 survey replies from women across the United States. Women said the screen validated their feelings and feared their providers did not even know about their losses. They asked for screening soon after a loss and regularly after that, ideally filled in online before visits. They also wanted kind follow-up talks and real resources, not just a score.
