A loss experienced during the perinatal period causes great sorrow and conflicts to the mother as well as those around her, and it tends to be treated as an event that is difficult to face. Recently, there has been a call for grief care in recent years, and it has started to be conducted in some professional institutions in a variety of approaches. However, it is undeniable that the quality and methods of grief care are currently different depending on the medical institute, and the staff. Also, grief work is provided actively by medical staff while the mother is in the hospital, but more than a few of these mothers who are discharged from hospital are placed in a state in which such support for expressing or outputting their negative feelings is unavailable. The purpose of this paper is to introducing mothers’ stories which were obtained through counseling and my investigations. Those stories will be opportunities to understand the emotional workings of mothers that are hardly spoken of while they are hospitalized, and serve as clinical clues for those involved in care during the perinatal period.
