The loss of a loved one, and particularly of a child, is beyond doubt a trauma which may disturb not only behavior, but also fertility. Bereavement may result in either the temporary loss of fertility or may, on the contrary, be followed by a long hoped-for and awaited conception. Both these situations are relatively commonly observed, but remain to be elucidated.
