Methods: A descriptive qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was carried out to seven informants who were recruited using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Result: The results showed four major themes, including the mothers’ response to a loss such as painful and traumatic experience; moral support received by mother; negative behavior from others such as stigma and lack of support; and physical and psychological changes that interfere with the role as wife and mother. Conclusion: The history of IUFD is a very traumatic experience and has a quite high emotional burden for mothers. Hence, it is necessary to integrate support and therapeutic communication into practice.}, issn = {2406-8799}, pages = {86--95} doi = {10.14710/nmjn.v10i1.22722}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/medianers/article/view/22722} }
