“…The experience of having the newborns in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is striking for the family, and demands the professionals create strategies so the parents can reorganize themselves socially, emotionally and psychologically, which is fundamental in the process of bond formation between them and the children (4) .

“…In a study conducted with a group of nine mothers who lost children under one year of age, belief and faith support, family support and support from health services were associated to the possibility of coping with death. 5 Facing adversity, such as the loss of a child, allows one to think that a person has the potential to develop and achieve acceptable levels of health and well-being. These skills allow tolerating, managing and alleviating the psychological, physiological and social consequences of traumatic experiences.…”
