Jessalyn Bohn: "While the experience of losing one's child or delivering prematurely is traumatic on its own, those bereaved by intrauterine death suffer additional, mitigatable, psychological harm. Specifically, they often struggle with disenfranchised grief--'grief that persons experience when they incur a loss that is not or cannot be openly acknowledged, publicly mourned, or socially supported'--misplaced guilt, and shock at preterm delivery's physical reality."
