Abstract:
It is an irrefutable fact, that the loss of a child before birth is a severe blow to both parents. A series of emotions and feelings are difficult to manage for both components of the couple and have a lot to do with their personal, socio-cultural and environmental structures, as well as the fact of belonging to one or the other gender. Throughout the history of our society, the education of men and women has been different and with it, the values attributed to men and women. Women's feelings have always been more exposed in an interpretation, often wrong, of the weakness of the female gender. On the other side, men have been socially vetoed for showing feelings of the female gender following the canons of various sociocultural moments. Through the study of a case, we intend to know the experience and emotions of a couple in the face of the same event, the ILE (Legal Termination of Pregnancy) at week 32 of gestation, and everything that this entails for both, as well as the way of expressing it to the caregiver they had with their previous son and to the one they hired again for the third. We can confirm that the perinatal grief of men and women is managed very differently. The feelings and emotions that are produced, as well as the tools they use to cope with it, are diverse despite being the same experience.
