O principal objetivo deste estudo consiste em compreender as singularidades subjacentes ao processo de luto materno, no contexto da perda inesperada, focando, deste modo, a dimensão individual e diádica das mães que passaram por esta experiência. No presente trabalho, tendo em conta a sensibilidade e complexidade do tema, foi adotada a metodologia qualitativa, permitindo o aprofundamento de significados e vivências dos participantes. Posto isto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a três mães que perderam um filho de forma inesperada. A análise qualitativa dos dados foi orientada pelos princípios da Grounded Theory. O processo de luto materno, de forma inesperada, é caracterizado por respostas emocionais negativas que se estendem no tempo, podendo mesmo chegar a ultrapassar o período de tempo considerado como adaptativo face a um processo de luto. Através dos testemunhos destas mães, conseguimos perceber o impacto e o sofrimento que esta perda teve nas suas vidas. Tendo em conta que estas mães se encontram numa relação conjugal, estar de luto não é somente um processo intrapessoal, mas também interpessoal. A compreensão destas singularidades contribui para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre o processo de luto materno no contexto da perda inesperada, podendo gerar mudanças nas práticas profissionais na abordagem deste fenómeno.
The main goal of this study is to understand the underlying singularities of the maternal grieving process, in the context of unexpected loss, thus focusing on the individual and dyadic dimension of mothers who have gone through this experience. In the present work, considering the sensitivity and complexity of the theme, a qualitative methodology was adopted, allowing the deepening of the meanings and experiences of the participants. Therefore, semi-structured interviews were carried out with three mothers who unexpectedly lost a child. The qualitative analysis of the data was guided by the principles of Grounded Theory. The maternal grieving process, unexpectedly, is characterized by negative emotional responses that extend over time and may even go beyond the period considered adaptive in the face of a grieving process. Through the testimonies of these mothers, we were able to understand the impact and suffering that this loss had on their lives. Bearing in mind that these mothers are in a marital relationship, being in mourning is not only an intrapersonal process, but also an interpersonal one. The understanding of these singularities contributes to the deepening of knowledge about the process of maternal mourning in the context of unexpected loss, which can generate changes in professional practices in approaching this phenomenon.
