A miscarriage
When a woman loses her baby through a miscarriage, however early in pregnancy, it is her child that she has lost; not a foetus or a blob of jelly. She is losing part of herself and ***it is a bereavement***; she therefore needs the loving care and support of her husband who, though feeling the loss, will not feet it in the same intense emotional way.

duelo, luto


Explanation:
Hola

Cuando la mujer sufre un aborto espontáneo, no sufre la pérdida de un feto sino que se trata de un duelo, un luto.

She is... > Está perdiendo a una parte de sí misma en la persona de su hijo;


Explanation:
aquí el sentido de "bereavement" es "persona perdida"; dado que ya tienes anteriormente "losing", puedes aprovechar para hacer que "losing" abarque tanto a la madre como a su hijo
