Abstract
Participants experienced acts of seeing and not seeing throughout their denial or facing of ongoing bereavement, which was influenced by their personal beliefs, readiness for the event, and social values. Health professionals need to understand the powerful interpretation of the “visual” meaning of the stillbirth experience and learn to be sensitive, empathetic and keep communication lines open in order to create and maintain a compassionate and caring environment.
