(2026) Silent grief: A qualitative study on the emotional and social impact of early gestational loss. Midwifery, 158, 1048200266-6138https://hdl.handle.net/11268/17044Early gestational loss is a common event, yet its emotional and social impact is often underestimated. From the earliest weeks of pregnancy, many women develop a psychological bond with the baby and an emerging maternal identity. When miscarriage occurs, the loss is often perceived as the death of a child rather than a minor clinical episode, resulting in disenfranchised grief. This study aims to understand the emotional and social experiences of women following early gestational loss.engEnfermeríaEmbarazoAborto espontáneoPesarjournal article10.1016/j.midw.2026.104820embargoed accessEmbarazoSalud mentalMedicina preventivaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
