The Role of a Self-Help Group in Working with Parents of a Stillborn Baby.
Wilson, Ann L.; Soule, Douglas J.
Death Education, v5 n2 p175-86 Sum 1981
Studies how a self-help group can facilitate parents' mourning process following a stillbirth. With family-to-family contact and group discussions, the reality of the stillbirth is validated, the empty feelings of the loss the parents are experiencing are acknowledged, and the guilt the couples are feeling is eased.
