The aim of this study is to show how important the role of medical staff in mental and moral-ethical terms is in support of women and with a history of miscarriage and their families. Miscarriage is the most common problem of procreation. This problem should be considered not only in the medical aspect but also the social, family and psychological ones. You can talk about the phenomenon of mourning due to the death of a loved one. A consequence of unexperienced mourning, or its renewal may be inappropriate interpersonal behavior or mental disorders (depression, anxiety syndromes, and post-traumatic stress disorder). The basic element of psychological support of women with a history of miscarriage is the acceptance of her feelings, permission to express negative emotions, providing the possibility of contact with the closest people. Both medical staff and family supporting women often forget about the child's father. The man also feels alone in their tragedy. He closes his sadness in himself. If a woman experiencing a miscarriage drama has children, staff should remember about them. The child should be explained that abortion is not anyone's fault. Medical staff plays an important role in the psychological support of women and their families after the loss of a child. Professionalism, experience, knowledge and skills of interpersonal communication are necessary in pursuit of purposes such as helping in coming to terms with the loss, allowing to experience suffering and sorrow, helping in accepting reality and life without a child, mobilization to invest energy and feelings in new relationships. Courses and training that concern dealing with the failure of maternity, may appear helpful for the medical personnel. They should teach skillful cooperation with the patient experiencing the loss of a child.

Key words: abortion, bereavement, pregnancy, psychological support.
