The disappearance of people is a complex phenomenon that
raises ambiguous feelings such as hope/despair, sadness,
guilt, anger and helplessness. This study aimed to
investigate the impact of the disappearance of a child,
under unknown circumstances, from the mothers` perspectives.
Eleven mothers with children disappeared mysteriously
participated in the survey, in the state of Rio de Janeiro,
between 2002 and 2005. The children were between 11 months
and 11 years old at the time of the disappearance.
Semi-structured interviews were performed and, from the
technical analysis of content, the data were grouped into 4
categories, named: 1) impact of the disappearance, 2)
relationship with husband / partner / boyfriend / father of
the child, 3) relationships with other children, 4) facing
the disappearance: facilitators and complications. It was
found that, before the sudden and mysterious disappearance
of their children, all participants initially had reactions
of denial, shock, numbness, despair and fear. After the
initial shock, reactions of anxiety and feelings of guilt,
helplessness, disbelief, sadness and anger were said, as
opposed to feelings of hope, faith, determination and
certainty of meeting again the disappeared child. The
interviewees also felt helplessness by their husbands /
partners, because they hoped to express their mourning in
the same way as them, considering them unsuitable and
negligent for not acting equally. Regarding to the
other children, note that, if on the one hand, some mothers
have become overprotective, there are cases where they
neglected them. It is concluded, finally, that for these
mothers, factors such as the lack of certainty about how and
where the child is, the lack of rituals, the indefinite
extension of the situation and the judgment of other people
(especially by other mothers) can contribute negatively to
the process of coping. Furthermore, the formation of groups
with mothers of missing children and the possibility of
sharing feelings presents itself an important resource for
the restructuring and reorganization of these women.
