Este estudo tem como objetivo geral compreender o papel do suporte social (SS) na perda inesperada de um filho, focando uma dimensão sistémica do processo de luto. Devido à complexidade e sensibilidade do tema, foi adotada a metodologia qualitativa orientada pelos princípios da Grounded Theory. Deste modo, realizaram-se questionários sociodemográficos e entrevistas semiestruturadas a três mães apoiadas por uma associação local que perderam um filho de forma inesperada. Através dos seus testemunhos constatamos que o impacto negativo desta perda é o saliente tanto no imediato como a longo prazo, demonstrando-nos o sofrimento profundo destas mães. Apenas a longo prazo são reportadas transformações positivas decorrentes da perda, situadas no plano pessoal e no papel maternal. O SS mais valorizado diz respeito ao suporte emocional protagonizado pela família nuclear e outros significativos. Contudo são mais salientes os obstáculos ao SS decorrentes do contexto e das circunstâncias da morte. Estes resultados contribuem para a compreensão da vivencia singular do processo de luto das participantes perante a morte inesperada dos seus filhos e como é pertinente a acessibilidade ao SS e ajustamento deste face às suas necessidades particulares.
This study aims to understand the role of social support in the unexpected loss of a child, focusing on a systemic dimension of the grieving process. Due to the complexity and sensitivity of the topic, the qualitative methodology guided by the principles of Grounded Theory was adopted. Thus, socio-demographic questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were carried out on three mothers who unexpectedly lost a child, who were supported by a local association. Through their testimonies, we found that the negative impact of this loss is what stands out both in the immediate and the long term, showing us the profound suffering of these mothers. Only in the long term are positive transformations resulting from the loss reported, on the personal level and in the maternal role. The most valued social support refers to the emotional support provided by the nuclear family and other significant personal relationships. However, the obstacles to social support stemming from the context and circumstances of death are more evident. These results contribute to the understanding of the participants' unique experience in the morning process of the unexpected death of their children and how the accessibility of social support and its adjustment to their particular needs are relevant.
