Um Olhar Gestáltico Na Elaboração do Luto pela Perda Gestacional: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: gestational loss is a remarkable experience that can generate intense emotional and psychological suffering. This study seeks to understand, through a gestalt perspective, the impacts of this type of loss and the processes of mourning, analyzing how different factors influence the experience and coping with this pain. Methodology: the research is based on a bibliographical review, bringing together the analysis and qualitative synthesis of four studies that discuss gestational bereavement, its particularities and ways of dealing with it. Results and Discussion: the results indicate that the way in which the loss is experienced can vary according to emotional, social and cultural aspects, and that adequate support is essential for reframing this experience. The discussion highlights the importance of a sensitive and humanized approach that recognizes the depth of suffering and enables a healthier mourning process. Final Considerations: it was concluded that welcoming strategies and emotional support play an essential role in reconstructing meaning in the face of loss, contributing to the adaptation and well-being of the bereaved. Furthermore, it was noted that, although the topic is discussed from a phenomenological-existential perspective, no specific Gestalt therapy studies were found that directly address the development of gestational bereavement. It is recommended that future research explore the relationship between Gestalt therapy and gestational loss, analyzing how its principles can be applied in clinical practice and what benefits this approach can bring to the experience of bereavement.
