Abstract: Introduction: Perinatal mourning is a consequence of perinatal loss; for them it is important that a humanized management is given, since, in some cases, mourning occurs silently. This care must be carried out both for the mother and her family. For them, the role of the nurse in the approach with comprehensive accompaniment and support is important. Objective: To determine qualities are the most effective nursing interventions for the management of perinatal grief for the mother and her family. Methodology: Narrative review through the search for research articles on perinatal grief and effective interventions for the management of perinatal grief. These searches were carried out by means of a peak question in which a specific population was selected, additional inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken into account according to the ProQuest, Dialnet, Google Scholar databases. Results: Finally, a total of 15 articles that answered the research question were selected, a series of effective nursing disorders for the mother and her family were identified, such as support groups, active listening by the staff, expression of feelings, implementation of rituals among others. Conclusions: From the nursing discipline, effective nursing interventions are implemented for the management of grief due to perinatal death, such as creating memories, emotional support, active listening, among others; but it is worth noting the need to include other disciplines that address perinatal grief, for this reason new guidelines and protocols must be generated for a multidisciplinary approach.
