Abstract

Grief and depressive syndrome belong to normal reaction by parents after a sudden infant death (SID). In the following we report on two cases from the point of view of psychiatry and forensic medicine in which, subsequent to SID, mothers reacted with extremely grave depression and accused themselves of having killed the child. Furthermore, some recommendations are given for the care of parents affected.
