Question

A nurse informs a woman that there is nothing more that can be done medically for her premature infant who is expected to die. the mother suppresses her grief and tells the nurse she is experiencing heart palpitations. what type of grief might the mother be experiencing?

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: Inhibited grief.

Inhibited grief happens when someone does not display any sign of mourning. This kind of grief can cause a health problem like a stomach ache or a headache. It is important to resolve the grief when losing someone important so that grief doesn't come back as an unexplained medical problem.
