Annotation

This paper explores recipient-directed pregnancy loss narratives in the peer communication context, focusing on the interest of face-to-face interaction to ease embodiment and further the mourning process. Discourse embedded representational gestures can elicit recipient participation and co-narration, and facilitate language processing and loss articulation.
